Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 30 minutes

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic clove. Peel and dice the carrots, and finely chop the celery. Brown the ground beef without oil in a large pot and add the onion and garlic. After a few minutes, brown the carrots and celery as well. Add tomato paste, if desired. Deglaze with red wine. Pour the passata into the pot and add 1/3 of the broth. Bring to a boil once, then reduce the heat and add more broth. You can continue this “adding broth” process for 2-3 hours. This will make the flavor even more delicious. Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Once the pasta is ready and drained, season the Bolognese with pepper and cayenne pepper to taste.
