Description
My Weeknight Bolognese takes only 30 minutes, but the hearty tomato sauce with ground sirloin, tomatoes, red wine (don't worry, the alcohol cooks off!), oregano and lots of spices tastes like it's been simmering on the stove all day. You can cook any boxed pasta that you have in the pantry; I prefer orecchiette ("little ears" in Italian) or small shells because they trap the sauce. A sprinkling of fresh basil, Parmesan cheese and a splash of cream at the end, and you have a delicious, satisfying dinner your whole family will love. To save even more time, you can make the sauce over the weekend and simply reheat it while you boil some pasta before dinner. And if you want to get a few extra vegetables into your kids, add some leftover cooked broccoli, cauliflower or peas to the finished sauce-they'll never suspect!
