Bolognese with minced meat

A simplified step-by-step recipe for Bolognese with minced meat at home. This dish is traditionally served with spaghetti or other pasta. This method of cooking Bolognese pasta with minced meat is not classic. It does not contain celery or meat broth. Tomatoes can be replaced with tomato paste. To make a really tasty sauce, choose tomato paste made from premium tomatoes. It is usually not brown, but rich red.

How to cook Bolognese with minced meat

Step 1

Bolognese with minced meat

Prepare the frying. To do this, take a deep frying pan and put it on medium heat. Put butter in it, add vegetable oil. When the mixture of oils becomes homogeneous, put onion, garlic and carrots in the frying pan. Fry for 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the heat and put them in a separate bowl.

Step 2

Bolognese with minced meat

Cook the pasta. Place a pot of water on high heat. Wait until the water boils. Throw in the pasta or spaghetti and stir. Cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat. Drain in a colander and then return to the pot. No need to rinse.

Step 3

Bolognese with minced meat

Prepare the sauce. Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the frying pan in which the vegetables were fried. Put it on medium heat. Put the mince. Stir to break the mince into very small pieces. Fry for 10 minutes until all the moisture evaporates.

Step 4

Bolognese with minced meat

Add wine. Since the classic recipe calls for dry wine, pour wine into the minced meat. Reduce heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes. The wine should evaporate. Add tomato paste and stir. Pour in 0.5 cups of filtered or boiled water. When the water boils, add fried vegetables, dried basil, salt and ground black pepper to the minced meat. Stir the ingredients. Add the sauce to the pan with the pasta and stir well. Cover and leave for 2 minutes.

Bolognese with minced meat - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use plant-based minced meat, lentils, or finely chopped mushrooms as a vegetarian alternative. Adjust cooking times slightly as needed.
Replace the pasta with spiralized zucchini (zoodles) or spaghetti squash for a low-carb version. Follow the same sauce preparation steps.
Dry red wine like Chianti or Merlot is ideal, but you can also use dry white wine or substitute with beef broth if preferred.
Yes, the sauce freezes well for up to 3 months. Store in an airtight container and thaw in the fridge before reheating on the stove.
Leftovers stay fresh for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of water.
Double the ingredients, but cook the minced meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a larger pot for pasta.
Pair with garlic bread, a fresh green salad, or grated Parmesan cheese. A side of roasted vegetables also works well.
