any nice beef recipe that goes with pasta? besides spaghetti.
Try this bolognaise sauce with a difference....
450g minced beef
8 rashers of smoked bacon sliced and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Level teaspoon salt
Glass of red wine
Teaspoon dried oregano
Tin of tomatoes
Large tube or half a tin of tomato puree
Black pepper
Olive oil
Handful fresh basil
In a large pan, fry off the minced beef, bacon, onion and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the wine and reduce to nothing, add the oregano, tinned tomatoes and tomato puree.
Tomato puree is important for flavour and it thickens the sauce. Add the salt and some freshly ground black pepper, bring it to the boil and simmer gently for a couple of hours.
Add some ripped up fresh basil just before serving.
Serve the sauce with pasta and Parmesan cheese or nice strong grated cheddar.
Have fun cooking!
