Pasta Bolognese is the Italian word for past with meat sauce. It sounds so much more inviting than: Pasta with Meat Sauce. Pasta Bolognese is easy to make and beloved by adults and kids alike. I like to spoon it over pasta with ridges because the ridges hold on to the sauce. Capellini and spaghetti squash are also great choices to eat with Bolognese. They’re both thin strands; so the flavor of the sauce really shines; plus they’re easy to twirl on a fork. You can also use this sauce for Sloppy Joes. Spoon it over a toasted bun and dig in.
Hint: The trick to getting a really smooth sauce is to pinch off small amounts of chopped meat and scatter them over the hot onions and garlic. Stir briskly as it browns; and press down a bit to be sure the meat gets broken up and doesn’t harden. It’s so good, you can skip the pasta! For Passover, use gluten free pasta!
For another recipe using chopped meat, try Deviled Hamburgers!
Prep time: 20 minutes
Hint: Depending on the sweetness of the tomatoes, a tablespoon of sugar really brings up the flavor.
