SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

Spaghetti Bolognese with Whole Grain Pasta

Fire-Roasted Meat Sauce
Brown 450 grams of beef mince in a pan. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped capsicum, and 3 minced garlic cloves; cook 3 minutes. Add an 800g can fire-roasted tomatoes and 140g can tomato paste. Season with oregano, basil, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Add 1/3 cup red wine and 1 tablespoon sugar. Simmer, reduce heat and cook 1 hour.

Tips For Preparing Whole-Grain Pasta
1 Use a big pot: The pasta will cook more evenly.
2 Add salt: Salting the water improves flavour.
3 Don't add oil: Oil in the water prevents sauces from clinging.
4 Stir the pasta:Whole-grain pastas tend to stick; stirring minimises that problem.
5 Taste often: It’s done when you bite it and it’s slightly resistant.
6 Don't rinse: It removes starch that helps sauces cling. But do rinse soba, which turn gummy otherwise.
7 Finish cooking in the sauce: This helps pasta absorb the sauce.
