How to Make Spaghetti Bolognese
Do not get overwhelmed with this recipe. It really is simple to make.
You want to cook the beef first and then cook all the veg together. Add the ingredients needed for a divine sauce, simmer, lid on for about 2hours to really allow the flavours to marry together.
About 30minutes before you are ready to eat you’ll want to cook up some spaghetti in salted water.. About 75grams of pasta per person is a good rule of thumb.
This sauce is even better the next day and it makes a ton. Which, leads us into our next tip.
How to Freeze Bolognese Sauce
If you would like this has a back-up for nights you don’t feel like cooking this recipe is perfect for freezing.
Now you want to freeze JUST THE SAUCE and then make up the pasta as you are about to eat, freezing pasta just doesn’t tend to have the greatest results in our opinion.
How to Freeze: allow the sauce to fully cool. Place into freeze-safe containers or freezer bags. Be sure to remove any excess air. The sauce will keep in the freezer around 3-4months.
Then all that is next is to dive into a big bowl of this stuff. Seriously, you will not be disappointed.
