Make tonight pasta night with a mouthwatering bolognese recipe. Uncork a bottle of red for the table, sit down and dig in.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 2 carrots, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 500 g extra-lean ground beef

  • 1 cup red wine

  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth

  • 156-mL can tomato paste

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 450 g linguine pasta

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan

  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Instructions

  • HEAT olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add carrots and garlic. Cook until carrots begin to soften, 3 to 5 min. Crumble in ground beef. Cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, about 5 min. Add red wine, beef broth, tomato paste and salt. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer bolognese until thickened, about13 to 15 min.

  • COOK linguine in a large pot of boiling water, following package directions but omitting salt, until tender, 7 to 8 min. Drain and return pasta to pot. Add bolognese sauce and stir to coat. Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley.
