Pasta Bolognese

*Estimated preparation time 1 hour - 1.5 hours

Ingredients:

• Ground beef - 1 kg
• Tomato juice - 400 gr
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoon
• Spaghetti/penne - 400 gr
• Onion - 2 pcs
• Carrots - 3 pcs
• Garlic - 4 pcs
• Celery stalk - 1 pc
• Meat or vegetable stock - 500 gr
• Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon
• Basil 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black/red pepper - to taste
• Rosemary - 4 sprigs
• Parmesan - 100 gr
• White dry wine - 150 ml 

Preparation:

First, use a heavy-bottomed pan or pot. Pour in the oil, add the rosemary, then the onion and carrot, and a few minutes of finely chopped garlic. Once the vegetables are well-simmered, the next step is the minced beef. Let it simmer for a few minutes. The meat will release its juices, then add the tomato juice or pasta. For any broth, it is important to use broth, not water. It gives the sauce a completely different flavor.

Add the wine, spices, and celery to the sauce. Cover the pot/pan and simmer over very low heat for 1 hour. The Bolognese sauce is ready.

Boil the pasta in salted water, transfer the amount of Bolognese sauce to a separate pan, equal to the number of people you want to serve. Add the cooked pasta and a little of the pasta broth. Mix well, let it sit on the stove for a few minutes, then transfer to plates and grate the Parmesan.
