What I had for dinner yesterday ~ Easy Peasy Spaghetti Bolognese

Dearies,

Thought of sharing with you how I made my spaghetti bolognaise yesterday. It was soooo easy and yes I used the tomata pasta sauce from the bottle. This is definitely beginners level :P

What I use:

- 2 big onions

- 3 cloves garlic

- 1 bottle tomato pasta sauce (750gm)

-200ml water for sauce

- 1/2 pack of spaghetti (250gm)

-400gm mince meat

-2 tablespoon olive oil to fry onions

- Sprinkles of salt, pepper n basil to taste

- Handful of coriander, chopped and few strand for garnishing

Onions and garlic chopped

Lets begin! :)

SAUCE

-Heat up pan/pot, add olive oil

-Add garlic, onions and stir fry

Tip: Always stor fry onions until they are translucent and you can smell the sweet aroma

-Add the tomato pasta sauce, whole bottle

-Add 200ml of water, stir

-Add in mince meat, cover and let it cook, stirring occasionally

-Once its cooked, add chopped coriander

-Add salt, pepper and basil to taste

-The sauce is ready!!!

PASTA

-Boil water, add dash salt and a little bit of oil

-Add spaghetti, the water should cover most of it, the top part of the spaghetti will slide down once its cooked

-Around 15 minutes on medium heat, test the spaghetti to make sure it is cooked just right

Tip: Make sure the spaghetti is cooked al dente, not too soft and mushy or hard. One way is of course to taste it or you can throw a strand on the wall and it is supposed to stick, Yeh I tried on my ceramic wall and it sticks! hehehe :P

-Drain the water out and leave some, in case its too dry you can add a teaspoon of the spaghetti water

-Add a teaspoon of butter on a bowl and pour the spaghetti into it and mix well

Now it is ready to be served, garnish with a sprig of coriander :D
