Hubby's Bolognaise Sauce

"My husband is the only one allowed to cook pasta bolognaise in our house. He has the patience--I don't! This recipe was his mother's and that came from her mother--an old family favourite."

directions

  • Pulse all the veggies in a blender until they are chopped fine.
  • Do the same with the bacon.
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté the veggies until onion and celery are transparent.
  • Add the bacon and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the minced meat and cook until well browned.
  • Add the tomato paste, basil and oregano; cook for 2 minutes to let the flavour of the herbs and paste come out.
  • Add the canned tomatoes including their juice.
  • Dissolve the beef bouillon and sugar in the water and add to the pan.
  • Simmer for 1 hour or until the sauce is thick and not runny. If the water evaporates too quickly, top it up as the long cooking is what makes this taste great.
  • Serve over cooked pasta of your choice or layer with lasagna sheets and a good bechemal sauce for a yummy lasagna.
  • For adaptation to crockpot: Brown mince and onion then add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for 5 hours or more.

  1. Such an easy recipe. Now I have the prefect recipe to get hubby to eat more vegetables. Put the extra in ziplock bags and popped in the freezer.
     
  2. This is a delicious bolognaise sauce - enjoyed by the whole family. I also liked that there are lots of veges in this recipe. We served it on penne and topped it with a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
