my bolognese sauce

For those who dont know me, i love pasta. Its really simple and i personally believe should be a staple for a lot of people. yes it is full of carbs, which could potentially lead to some weight problems, however this is quite unlikely if you cook your pasta right and make proper sauces that dont contain 50% butter. My meat sauces has come a long way, but once you understand it...its ridiculously easy to whip up. If you want a vegetarian alternative just try the sauce without the meat.

i started by boiling a big pot of water and cooking pasta. the sauce was made by

• putting a little olive oil in a medium sized saucepan at med heat
• adding a white onion to pan, diced up
• adding 2 cloves of garlic, crushed and diced
• stirring it around for 4-5 min, or till onions are see through
  

I then added

• 400 grams of organic ground beef (im not a fan of normal ground beef...it scares me)
  
• 1 can of tomatoes
• 1 tbs of tomato paste
  
• a tsp of white sugar
  
• 1 pepper diced up
• 1 tsp of hot sauce
• 1/2 c of red wine
• a large pinch of salt
• a decent pinch of pepper
  

I turned it to high till it started to boil, then back to simmering at med heat while it bubbles and thickens. Constantly stirring for 30ish min most likely, or till its thick enough for you to think its a sauce, with the lid half off...so some steam can come off.

If you let it sit without stirring it will look runny, but stirring it together will make it seem like a proper chunky sauce.

Enjoy guys with some spaghetti and a touch of parm, and make sure to add sauce to pasta in pot and put back on stove for a couple minutes so sauce gets soaked up into noodles....this is KEY!
