Spaghetti Bolognese with a Splash of Red Wine
You will need:
500g of spaghetti
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
500g of ground beef
800g of canned diced tomatoes
1/4 cup of Tasty Glass red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until it is al dente. This means it should be firm when bitten.
- In the meantime, heat a large pan over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil, then add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté these until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Next, add the ground beef to the pan with the onions and garlic. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is fully browned and no pink remains.
- Now, pour in the canned diced tomatoes and the Tasty Glass red wine. The wine will add a rich depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer over low heat until it thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the spaghetti is done, drain it well. Then, toss it directly into the pan with the Bolognese sauce, ensuring every strand is coated.
- Finally, serve the spaghetti Bolognese hot, with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!
