Tortellini Bolognese image

After enjoying a Bolognese dish at a famous Italian restaurant, I knew I had to find a recipe I could make at home. The very first one I stumbled upon, from an old $1.00 cookbook I'd purchased, rivaled that of the restaurant's. What luck!!!!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 lb ground sirloin
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 cup dry red wine, divided
2 cups beef broth, divided
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 lb frozen cheese tortellini
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet, over medium heat, heat olive oil.
  • Add bacon and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain grease.
  • Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is softened.
  • Break up ground sirloin and pork and add to skillet.
  • Cook until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
  • Add half the wine and half of the beef broth.
  • Cook over medium-high heat until liquid is almost absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Lower heat and stir in the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, parsley, and basil.
  • Pour in remaining wine and beef broth.
  • Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • While sauce is simmering prepare tortellini according to package directions.
  • After sauce has simmered 20 minutes, stir in the heavy cream and heat through.
  • Spoon sauce over tortellini and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • {Note:I use a food processor to finely chop the bacon, onion, carrots, and celery for a smoother textured sauce, and to save an abundance of time}.

I'm always looking for new pasta recipes, and this one caught my eye. The tortellini were a nice change from the usual spaghetti or macaroni.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used a meatless sauce. The dish was still delicious and my family loved it.

I'm not a huge fan of tortellini, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was delicious and the tortellini were soft and chewy.
