Angela DealeCounting the Pennies Part 2
This is a continuation from my blog the other day about saving money in the kitchen. Today I would like to share with you a recipe that can be used for 2 dishes in particular and the best thing about this recipe is that it is using some of the key items that you will have already in your pantry.
Spaghetti Bolognese and Lasagne.
First we will start with the Bolognese sauce.
Ingreedients
500 grams of lean beef mince
1 large finely chopped onion
2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
1 can diced tomotoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium carrots sliced julianne style
2 large zuchinni sliced into small pieces
1 bottle of dolmio 785g bottle of tomato and basil sauce
Method.
1. Place medium cooking pot on stove on a medium heat, add olive oil
2. Once heated add garlic and onions into pot, stir until lightly browned, be careful not to burn the garlic
3. Once browned add in mince, use wooden spoon to break the mince up in the pot. Stir regularly until mince is brown all over
4. Add diced tomatoes into pot and stir through
5. Add Dolmio sauce into pot and stir through.
6. Place lid on pot and let simmer on low heat for around 90 mins. Make sure to regularly.
Once the sauce is done you can either cook some spaghetti up and serve with some grated parmasen, or you can turn it into a lasagne.
