Spaghetti alla Bolognese

Ingredients

Tomatoes - 4 pieces
Lean Beef - 10.6 oz
Onion - 1 piece
Garlic - 3 cloves
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Fresh basil leaves - 1 bunch
Red Grape Juice - 2 fl oz
Oregano - 1 teaspoon
Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - to taste
Spaghetti - 17.6 oz
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Ocean salt - 1 teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Make cross-shaped cuts on the tomatoes and pour boiling water over them for 2–3 minutes, covering with a lid. Drain the water and peel the tomatoes.

Step 2

Peel the onion and garlic and place them in a blender along with the tomatoes and basil. Blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the resulting sauce into a saucepan, add three tablespoons of olive oil, mix, and place on high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a level that allows the sauce to simmer gently without splattering.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat a dry skillet and sauté the ground beef until golden brown, making sure it doesn't clump together. Immediately add the browned beef to the sauce, mix; pour in the red dry wine, mix again, and cook the sauce until the alcohol smell disappears and excess liquid evaporates.

Step 5

Five minutes before the sauce is done, season with salt, pepper (if desired), add dried oregano, and mix.

Step 6

In a large pot of boiling salted water with one tablespoon of olive oil, cook the spaghetti until al dente.

Step 7

Drain the cooked pasta and serve the spaghetti on plates. Top with the sauce, garnish with a basil sprig, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (to taste).
