Description

This recipe is the best thing that can happen to pasta when you need to prepare a nutritious meal in a hurry. In many ways, this pasta with ground meat slightly resembles traditional Italian Bolognese pasta – except that there, the meat sauce is simmered for a long time and wine is always added to the meat. Here, the processes are noticeably sped up, and the step with wine and hours of simmering the meat is conveniently skipped. The recipe mentions Italian herbs, which can be either a ready-made dry mix from the store or fresh herbs taken separately, such as rosemary, thyme, or basil.
