1. STEP 1

   

   How to make classic Bolognese pasta? Prepare your food. I took spaghetti, but you can use absolutely any pasta, as long as it is made from durum wheat. Minced meat can be made from any meat; I used a mixture of beef and pork. You can prepare it yourself or use ready-made one. How to choose spaghetti, read the link in the article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare meat sauce. How to make sauce? Wash and peel the carrots and onions. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, you can cut them into cubes. Also finely chop the onion.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat any vegetable oil for frying in a frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and carrots. Fry them, stirring constantly, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chilled or defrosted minced meat and salt. Mix well, breaking up large lumps of minced meat. Fry the minced meat with vegetables for about 15 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. How to choose a frying pan and oil, read the articles at the end of this recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove the skins from the tomatoes. To do this, make a crosswise cut on each and pour boiling water for 2 minutes. then transfer them to cold water. Due to sudden temperature changes, the skin can be easily and quickly removed with a sharp knife. Finely chop the peeled tomatoes. Place them in a frying pan with vegetables and minced meat.

   Add tomato paste and spices there: dried basil and parsley (in the summer you can use fresh herbs, it will turn out even tastier), ground black pepper. Mix well. Pour in a glass of boiled clean water and stir again. Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 25 minutes. Peel and chop the garlic and add it to the pan with the sauce. Simmer for about 5 more minutes.

   Cook the pasta. How to cook pasta? Bring salted water to a boil in a saucepan and add spaghetti. Cook them until al dente (when they are still slightly firm) according to the time indicated on the package. Drain the water. Add a little vegetable (ideally olive) oil to the pan with spaghetti, stir so that the pasta does not stick together. Place pasta on a plate and top with Bolognese sauce. You can add grated cheese and herbs.

I prepared classic Bolognese pasta. Instead of tomato, I used homemade tomato juice, first I took 130 ml of it and during the cooking process I added about 170 ml more (I did not add water) I cooked until the excess liquid evaporated. From the greenery I added fresh parsley. This time I also chose spaghetti for pasta. Tasty, satisfying. Thank you Snezhana!

Great recipe. This is not the first time I’ve cooked. There is one piece of advice to everyone who repeats it - it’s better to add butter to spaghetti immediately after cooking (especially if you’re not going to eat what you’ve cooked right away... I usually cook the whole pack of pasta or spaghetti at once and eat it for a couple of days). Then the pasta won’t be dry on the second day (or perhaps I just overdid it with salt and it took away all the liquid; it certainly won’t make it worse for the oil)...

it was very tasty and perfect. But instead of the paprikas that were in the recipe, I used Provençal herbs and black pepper. Everyone liked everything
