Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil.
- Add the 12 oz (340g) of pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tbsp (14g) of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the 18 oz (510g) ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the 3/4 cup (170g) of chopped or sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.
- Pour in the 2 cups (460g) of pasta sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the Bolognese sauce has simmered and the flavors have melded together, add the drained pasta into the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Allow the pasta and sauce to heat together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the Beef and Mushroom Bolognese pasta among serving plates.
- Optionally, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil or parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious Beef and Mushroom Bolognese!
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality pasta for the best texture and flavor.
- Opt for 80/20% ground beef to ensure the bolognese is flavorful and moist.
- Finely chop the mushrooms so they blend seamlessly into the sauce, adding depth without overwhelming the dish.
- Let the pasta sauce simmer for a bit longer to enhance the flavors.
- Don't forget to season your bolognese with salt and pepper to taste.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine while cooking the ground beef.
- Grate some Parmesan cheese over the top before serving for a cheesy finish.
