ONE POT PASTA BOLOGNESE

One Pot Pasta Bolognese image

Recipe video above. For One-Pot-Pasta Cynics (and Italian cooking pursists), there's a special message for you at the top of the post! :)This recipe is everything you love about Spaghetti Bolognese - the rich, thick tomato sauce, full flavoured (never bland!), made from scratch WITH the pasta in one pot! Excellent big batch cooking, keeps well. Tomato passata (aka tomato puree) is the key here for an instant thick, rich sauce rather than cooking down crushed tomato.Pasta types - long, short or tiny, but read recipe note 4 for adjustments.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 onion (, finely chopped)
500g / 1 lb beef mince (ground beef) (, I use lean)
700g / 24.5 oz tomato passata (tomato puree) ((Note 1))
3 cups beef broth ((or stock cubes + water, Note 2))
2 tsp Italian mixed herbs ((options, see Note 3))
1/4 - 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (red pepper flakes) (, adjust to taste)
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbsp tomato paste
3/4 tsp each salt and pepper
350g / 12 oz spaghetti (, uncooked (other pasta - Note 4))
Parmesan

Steps:

Saute onion & garlic: Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Cook garlic and onion for 2 minutes until translucent.
Cook beef: Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go.
Add tomato: Once beef has all changed from red to brown, add tomato passata.
Rinse out bottle: Pour some beef stock into the empty bottle, shake, then pour into the pot.
Add everything else: Add remaining beef stock and all remaining ingredients except spaghetti. Give it a good stir, then let it come up to the boil.
Add spaghetti: Add pasta, fanning it out around the pot. Leave for 30 seconds to start softening, then start pushing it in under the liquid.
Cook pasta: Once fully submerged, cook for 12 minutes, stirring every minute or so, and more towards the end. At about the 8 minute mark, lower the heat to medium otherwise the base might catch (but ensure it is still bubbling gently - you don't want pasta just bloating in warm water).
Remove from stove, toss well: Take it off the stove once the pasta is JUST cooked, the tiniest bit firmer than you want, and when still saucy. Toss it for about 30 seconds or so - the sauce will reduce further, the pasta will finish cooking.
Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan.

ONE-POT BUCATINI BOLOGNESE

Not only is this a one-pot wonder, but it also shaves a significant amount of time off of making a traditional Bolognese (which is a slow-braised tomato sauce with meat).

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound ground beef chuck (80- to 85-percent lean)
Freshly ground black pepper
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
12 ounces bucatini, broken in half (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus additional for serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus additional for serving

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, carrots, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 minute, stirring to coat the vegetables. Add the beef, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes, bucatini, 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged in liquid. Bring to a boil and continue to cook, stirring frequently to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley and season with salt to taste. Divide among 4 bowls and serve with additional parsley and Parmesan.
Cook's Note: The success of this recipe is dependent upon the specific pasta shape suggested, so we don't recommend substitutions.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
Brown the Beef: Browning the beef adds a lot of flavor to the sauce. Be sure to brown it in a hot pan over medium-high heat until it's nicely browned on all sides.
Use a Good Quality Pasta: The type of pasta you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that's made with high-quality ingredients and that will hold its shape when cooked.
Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. Pasta that is cooked al dente is still slightly firm to the bite. This is the ideal texture for pasta dishes, as it allows the sauce to cling to the pasta better.
Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor and brightness to the dish. If you can, use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs whenever possible.
Season to Taste: Always taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to achieve the perfect flavor.

Conclusion:

One-pot pasta bolognese is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for busy families. It's also a great way to use up leftover pasta sauce. The next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give this one-pot pasta bolognese a try. You won't be disappointed!
