Serves 4 Takes 2 hours including making the red sauce from scratch from our Easy Italian Red sauce recipe.
Ingredients for spaghetti bolognese:
- 500g minced meat (you can use any but we decided for pork)
- No stress Italian Sauce
- 500g of spaghetti pasta
- 2 tbs of oil
- 2 tbs of olive oil (you can use a flavoured oil for an extra kick)
- ½ tsp of salt
- 160g of grated cheese (the best is parmesan but you can use any – mozzarella, cheddar etc.)
- Fresh basil for decoration (optional)
Method:
- Make the No stress Italian Sauce.
- Using 2 tbs of oil fry the minced meat on medium heat. When all cooked add the Sauce.
- In a tall pot boil water with olive oil and salt. Put in the spaghetti pasta (do not crack it) within 2 minutes pasta should be all under water (if not give it a little push :P).
- When all past will be underwater swirl the water making sure no pasta is stuck to the bottom of the pot (repeat it a
few times). Cook according to instructions on the packaging (al dente is the way to go!) - Sift out the pasta. Put a portion on a plate sprinkle it with cheese (about 20g). On top put the sauce and sprinkle it with some more cheese (about 20g).
- Decorate it with some fresh basil leaves and voilà!
