Penne Bolognese


I can’t even recollect how many versions of Bolognese sauce I have made thusfar. Well, my kids just love this classic Italian pasta sauce and so, here goes another one. :-) This Penne Bolognese recipe was adapted from Patsy’s Cookbook-Classic Italian Recipes. I think it’s among one of the best Italian cookbooks out there. It’s filled with simple and flavorful recipes which are accompanied with easy to follow instructions. Some of you may notice, I have tried and posted many of her recipes here.

Ingredients

6-8 Medium White Mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
¼ Cup Olive Oil
1 Small Yellow Onion, finely chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
½ lb Lean Ground Beef
1 16 oz Can Plum Tomatoes, with juice
2 Bay Leaves
¼ Cup Cabernet Sauvignon
¼ Cup Beef Broth
Pinch of Oregano
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley
Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
4 Tbsp Freshly Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 lb Penne, cooked al dente

Method

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onions for 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and ground beef, and continue to cook and stir for 8 to 9 minutes, until the meat is browned.

Coarsely chop the tomatoes and add with their juice, the bay leaves, wine, beef broth, and oregano. Bring the beef mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves. Add the butter and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve over the cooked pasta.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
