Bolognese sauce is a meat-based pasta sauce originating in Bologna, Italy. Cook a big pot of sauce and freeze the excess sauce in individual serving bags for quick meal solutions. Thaw and warm the sauce in the microwave or saucepan and you have a quick pasta meal in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 100 grams streaky bacon chopped
- 2 stalks celery sliced thinly

- 200 grams minced pork
- 1 glass dry red wine
- 2 x 400g canned tomatoes (chopped or diced)
- 80 grams tomato paste
- 400 ml water
- 300 ml milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp dried oregano double amount if using fresh herbs
- 1 tbsp dried basil double amount if using fresh herbs
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a pan, add oil and chopped bacon. Lightly brown the bacon for a few minutes.
- Add chopped celery, onion and carrots. Fry for about 6 minutes on gentle heat until the vegetables are softened.
- Add minced beef & pork, red wine and fry for a brief moment, browning and distributing the meat evenly.
