Italian Bolognese Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6g green tea bbq seasonings
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 12 ounces pasta (such as spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Meat Sauce:
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the Ground Beef:
- Add the ground beef to the saucepan and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with the green tea bbq seasonings, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Add Vegetables and Liquids:
- Stir in the finely chopped carrots and celery, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the red wine and beef broth, and bring to a simmer.
Simmer the Sauce:
- Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano to the saucepan. Stir well to combine, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
Cook the Pasta:
- While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Combine and Serve:
- Once the sauce has finished simmering, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the meat sauce.
Garnish and Enjoy:
- Serve the Italian Bolognese pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. The combination of rich meat sauce and tender pasta, infused with the unique flavors of green tea bbq seasonings, creates a delightful and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
