Ingredients
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 300g minced beef
- 400g canned tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Quarter the onion, chop the carrot and celery, and peel the garlic cloves. This will make the cooking process smoother.
- Place the quartered onion, garlic cloves, chopped carrot, and chopped celery into the Thermomix bowl. Chop these ingredients for 5 seconds on speed 5 until finely chopped. Use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the chopped vegetables in the bowl. Sauté the mixture for 3 minutes at 100°C on speed
- This will enhance the flavors of the vegetables.
- Next, add the 300g of minced beef to the bowl. Cook for 5 minutes at 100°C on reverse speed soft, breaking up the meat with the spatula as it cooks.
- Once the beef is browned, add the 400g of canned tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 bay leaf to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir the ingredients gently with the spatula to combine them thoroughly. Then, cook the sauce for 30 minutes at 100°C on reverse speed soft, with the measuring cup removed to allow steam to escape.
- After the cooking time is complete, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can cook it for an additional 5-10 minutes at Varoma temperature on reverse speed soft.
- Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the bay leaf and serve the Bolognese sauce over your choice of pasta. Enjoy your delicious homemade Italian meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To streamline your cooking process, prepare all your ingredients in advance. Chop the vegetables and measure out the spices so you can focus on the cooking once you start.
- Enhance the Flavor: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine when you sauté the vegetables. This will elevate the taste of your sauce significantly.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality canned tomatoes and minced beef for the best results. The freshness of your ingredients makes a huge difference in flavor.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, don’t hesitate to cook it a bit longer at Varoma temperature. Just keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Pairing Suggestions: Serve your Bolognese sauce over spaghetti, tagliatelle, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb option. Top it off with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a delicious finish!
- Storing Leftovers: This sauce keeps well in the fridge for up to three days and can be frozen for later use. Make a double batch and save some for a busy weeknight dinner!
