- Hi, I made this pasta sauce last night for my wife and me. It is easy to
- prepare, and you just let it bubble for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring every
- once in a while.
-
- Bolognaisesque Gloop:
-
- Ingredients:
-
- 1 dessert spoon oil
- 1/2 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 rashers bacon (smoked or unsmoked)
- 1/2 RED capsicum (sweet pepper)
- a generous handful of mushrooms
- 1 lb minced beef
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- some tomato paste
- 1 dessert spoon mixed herbs
- some parsley
- salt+pepper
-
- Instructions:
-
- Chop the 1/2 onion reasonably finely. Peel the garlic cloves and mash
- them with a fork (well, that's what I do!). Heat the oil in a pan
- until a bit of the onion sizzles in it, then add the onion and garlic.
- Stir while it softens a little. Cut the bacon up into pieces about
- 1cm square (ish!), and drop into the pan. Let the whole lot sit, with
- the odd stir to even things up, for a couple of minutes until the
- bacon is obviously not raw. Add the capsicum and mushrooms (chopped
- reasonable small and thin, respectively) and give them a few moments
- of heat. Add the mince and stir it around so that it all comes in
- contact with the bottom of the pan at some point. Let it bubble for a
- couple of minutes in its own juices.
-
- Now throw in 1 dessert spoon mixed herbs, and a bit less of parsley
- and stir in thoroughly. Add the can of tomatoes and stir in
- thoroughly. Throw in the sugar and season with salt and pepper (I use
- just less than a tsp of each.) Stir thoroughly.
-
- Leave it bubbling (not vigorously boiling!) for about 1 1/2 hours with
- the lid on the pan at an angle so as to let out some steam. The aim
- is to get a reasonably thick, creamy consistency.
-
- THE END---------------------
-
- We ate this with fettuccini(sp?), and it was jolly nice!
