From the God’s Love Kitchen: Beef Bolognese

(Serves 6)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ⅔ cup chopped celery
• ⅔ cup chopped carrot
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 pound ground beef
• Salt & pepper
• ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 1 ½ cups canned plum tomato, cut up, with their juice
• 1 to 1 ½ pounds pasta

1. Add olive oil, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, and pinch of salt to pot. Turn heat on to medium.
2. When vegetables start to sizzle, cook for 5 minutes until fragrant – stirring frequently.
3. Add ground beef to pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no more raw beef is visible – breaking up ground beef with fork or back of spatula.
4. Add beef broth and cook until about half has evaporated.
5. Add tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer and cook until beef is tender and sauce has thickened. Then add nutmeg.
6. While sauce is cooking, cook your favorite pasta to your preferred doneness.
7. When sauce is done, add cooked pasta to sauce and mix – using pasta water to thin if necessary.
