Spaghetti Bolognaise
Since we usually cook a lot to last us several meals over the week, this recipe serves at least 6. But you can easily adjust the ingredients... or just cook a big pot and bring it for lunch the next day!
Ingredients:
2 onions, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1.5kg beef mince
1 cup water
2 carrots, cubed
5 tomatoes, chopped
2 cups mushroom, chopped
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp basil
2 tbsp chives
2 tbsp thyme
5 tbsp tomato paste/5 tbsp tomato sauce, optional
grated cheese, optional
salt
pepper
4 zucchini, julienne
- Melt butter on medium heat in a pot. Add the onion and garlic and fry until cooked.
- Add the beef mince and a cup of water and heat until mince is browned.
- Add the carrots, tomatoes and mushrooms and let it simmer.
- Add the herbs, salt and pepper and simmer for about 30-45 minutes.
- In the meantime, place the zucchini noodles on a paper towel in a bowl and add salt. This is to draw the water out of the zucchini. Dab as much water as you can with a fresh paper towel.
- On a frying pan, heat the zoodles up for a couple minutes and plate it.
- Add the tomato paste/sauce in the mince mix and simmer for a couple minutes.
- Serve the zoodles with the sauce and a handful of grated cheese.
