Yes, We Cook!

Having had an impressive Bolognese sauce at Bravo! I wanted to give this one a go in my kitchen. I finally settled on the base recipe found here.

Needed for the sauce:

1 cups grated carrots

1/2 large red onion, diced

1/2 white onion, diced

1 shallot, diced

1/4 cup olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon oregano flakes

1 tablespoon dried basil flakes

1/2 6-ounce can tomato paste

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup red wine

1 tbsp, 1 tsp Worcestershire

salt, pepper to taste

1 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes

1/2 cup half-n-half

Fresh Parmesan cheese

Let us get right to it!

1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add grated carrots, onions and shallot and cook for three minutes.
   

   Onions, Shallots, Carrots.. oh my!

3. Add ground beef and cook for a few minutes until brown.
4. Mix in oregano and basil.
5. When the meat is browned and combined with other ingredients add tomato paste and heat.
6. Add garlic and stir to combine.
7. Add red wine and stir together.
8. Add Worcestershire and stir.
9. Add canned tomatoes.
10. Finally add in half-n-half, stir, and let simmer for 30 minutes.

And there you have it, you are done! Bolognese sauce over Egg Pasta

Enjoyable dish, one that seems to get better after the sauce has sat for a few days. Make some of the kick-ass garlic bread and you are ready to go.
