Standby Mid-Week Bolognese

Standby Mid-Week Bolognese

A good Bolognese takes hours to cook – it’s one of my favourite things to simmer away on the stove. However, sometimes, a craving hits mid-week and you want Bolognese NOW! With the rich, robust notes of Red, Red Wine, you can have a Bolognese on the table in 15 minutes.

Serves: 4

  • INGREDIENTS

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    300g pork and beef mince (or any time of mince you like)
    500ml jar of SNP Red, Red Wine
    1 tablespoon butter
    Handful of Parmigiano Reggiano/parmesan
    Pasta to your liking

  • METHOD

    Bring a large saucepan of water to a lively boil and season as salty as the sea. Add pasta and cook until al dente.

    Heat olive oil in a deep fry pan and add mince. Leave it to colour for 5 minutes, then toss it over. This helps create a lovely caramelisation on the mince! Pour in your jar of sauce. Rinse jar with ½ cup of water and pour that in. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add pasta. Throw in a knob of butter, handful of Parmigiano Reggiano and a splash of pasta cooking water. Give the whole thing a forceful stir. Serve immediately with a shower of cheese.
