Pasta Bolognese – what a dish!

Well it is one of my favorite dishes since I was a child. I don’t know why. It is one of my dearest comfort dishes. And it’s been a while since I last made it as I refrained from eating meat for a long time. Here it is!

Ingredients: 0.5kgr minced mixed veal and pork meat, 10 melted fresh cherry tomatoes, 300gr tomato juice, 1tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp grapes’ molasses, 2 onions melted, 2tbsp grated carrots, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 1tbsp of chopped celery, 1 pinch of turmeric, 1 vegetables cube, ½ chili pepper chopped, a few allspices, 2 cinnamon sticks, pepper, salt, ½ cup of olive oil

In a deep pressure cooker or pot, sauté the chopped onions in the olive oil in medium fire. Add the tomato paste and slowly roast. Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, the grated carrots, the allspices, cinnamon sticks, turmeric and chopped chili pepper. Allow the ingredients to roast and bring out their aromas. Add the minced meat and mix well. Add the tomato juice, molasses parsley and celery. Dissolve the vegetables cube in some water and pour in your food. This process should last about 30minutes.

Your food should have a few juices so as to slowly cook. Close the pressure cooker for 20min and allow to cook. Open, add a little water if needed. Add salt and pepper. Taste if the minced meat is of your liking and adjust in seasoning.

Now for the pasta: fill in a deep pot with water and boil your pasta with some allspices, cinnamon sticks, 1 vegetables cube and a few drops of olive oil. Simmer the pasta for about 10-12minutes in low to medium fire according to package instructions.

Serve with a nice gruyere or straight.

Enjoy!
