Bolognaise Sauce - EDC

[Morte]

Recipe Name: Bolognaise Sauce

Book Name: EDC

Tweaking details: added 1/2 tbsp stock paste and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Review: added the above to add richness/spice and a little more flavour, my family found it without them a little bland. Makes a nice smooth sauce that clings well to the spaghetti. Not a lot left over, after feeding only 2 adults 1 child (7). Will make again, with more veggies in it for bulk.

Score: 4/5

I made this one tonight minus the bacon, but everything else, as per the book.

Turned out really nicely, was quite impressed.

As the above poster said, next time I'll probably add some more vegies to it, like zucchini, etc to make it a little tastier.

I made this last night, didn't have fresh bay leaves or wine, but just added a bit more water and also a couple of handfuls of mushrooms and a heaped teaspoon of the vege stock concentrate.  I also made my own fettucini using the pasta dough recipe (first time making pasta!). I did that first and let the dough rest until just before the sauce was done, rolled out and cut it with my pasta roller thing, it was all delish!!    Even DH was pretty impressed. I loved that by making my own mince in the TMX I was left with some small and some chunky bits of meat, it made the sauce that much better than just using bought mince

Great reviews from you all.  We don't have to look far and wide for interesting recipes - worth just checking out the ones in the basic books occasionally.  Thank you.

Recipe Name: Bolognaise Sauce (Ragu)
Tweaking details: We are Muslim and eat halal so we drop the Pancetta (although you could use fakin' bacon I guess) and red wine. Instead of the wine I add 50g water mixed with 1tbsp of TM stock.
Instead of tomato puree I just add a can of diced tomatoes
Must add herbs: a pinch each of sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil. If using dried herbs put in at the point in which you add tomato ingredients. If using fresh herbs, about three minutes from the end seems to do it.
Instead of putting the MC lid on an incline, my consultant taught me a trick of putting the steamer/strainer basket on top instead of the MC lid.
Review: This is soooooooo yummy when you add the herbs to give it flavour.

My tweak is adding some umami at beginning with bacon ET al.  I also put in zucchini with carrot, celery too.

This is a regular for us

We've had this one a few times in the last couple of weeks. Used it in lasagne and regular old spag bol. I do find it a bit bland (we like a richer flavour) so add stock paste and mixed herbsInstead of adding water and tomato puree, I use 400g can tomatoes.

Would that be a 400 gm tin Janberie?

Oops! Yes, 400g! Thanks Judy!
