Make tonight pasta night with a mouthwatering bolognese recipe. Uncork a bottle of red for the table, sit down and dig in.
1 tsp olive oil
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
500 g extra-lean ground beef
1 cup red wine
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
156-mL can tomato paste
1/2 tsp salt
450 g linguine pasta
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup chopped parsley
HEAT olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add carrots and garlic. Cook until carrots begin to soften, 3 to 5 min. Crumble in ground beef. Cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, about 5 min. Add red wine, beef broth, tomato paste and salt. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer bolognese until thickened, about13 to 15 min.
COOK linguine in a large pot of boiling water, following package directions but omitting salt, until tender, 7 to 8 min. Drain and return pasta to pot. Add bolognese sauce and stir to coat. Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley.
