Hi Everyone! I trust we're having a fun filled Summer already☺️😊.
Join me, as I make one of my favorite dishes. I enjoy eating pasta hence, I find different methods to prepare them. My mum prepared it for I and my siblings many years ago and ever since, I haven't gotten over it🤗. Though I'm basically using my personal recipe. You can as well try it out your favorite flavours during the process.
Bolognese is one of my favorites, and I mean it when I say it is, lol. I really can't wait to share my recipe with you... Follow me 😉
INGREDIENTS
1.Spaghetti 500g (any pasta of your choice)
2.Minced beef 500g (you can also use minced chicken, pork).
- Olive oil 100ml
- Onions 150g
- Garlic
- Tomatoes(diced)
- Tomato puree
- Whole milk 150ml( you might choose to use evaporated or skimmed)
- Bell peppers 50g each (I'll be using the green, red and yellow bell peppers.
- Pasley(some leaves)
- Ginger powder(1sp)
- Seasoning cubes (of course your
favorite spices are not left out 😂) - Salt to taste.
- An egg( to keep the Doctor away😂. Also optional)
PROCEDURE
I cooked my pasta in boiling water for some minutes. I prefer using boiling water to ensure it doesn't turn out sticky.
After few minutes, I added some salt to taste. And allow to cook for few minutes till done. I have another pot on the cooker to make the beef sauce already 😁
I diced my onions, garlic and bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, red pepper and few leaves of Parsley. For the bell peppers, I love cutting them into something simple , lol... square shapes will do that for me because I want to have them a bit crunchy while munching 😂
I already had few cloves of garlic so I diced them together with my onions. I remember my mum telling me that I always called garlic "the sister of onion"😂... I can't tell what I was thinking as a toddler..lol.
For my tomatoes and red peppers, I like them chunky (You can also blend). And for my carrots, medium size is perfectly fine. I had few leaves of parsley preserved not for long in my fridge and why not, it'll add another flavour to it.
Now let's get to the real deal...
I put some olive oil in the pot to heat up.
I added the carrots and stir on a low heat.
After a minute of heating, I add my diced onions and garlic and pepper and stir for about two minutes.
Its time to add my minced beef and cook on a low heat. This is to allow the beef simmer properly and absorb some natural flavoring especially that of garlic.
I Cooked for about a 10-12 minutes until it turned to light brown.
Added some seasoning cubes and some spices. I used ginger powder and curry powder and nutmeg powder mixed with cinnamon. (Cinnamon is my favourite).
I proceeded to add the tomatoes and stirred properly.(you might decide to use mashed tomatoes and that is perfect fine)
I added a scoop of tomato puree and stirred evenly. This is to specialize the taste and flavour. I definitely love adding some puree to my meal😁
Some salt to taste. You can add more of your favorite spices. Why not? 🤭
I added half cup of milk. It adds a different yet an interesting kind of taste to the sauce. (You can as well choose not to)
Okay! This has to be one of my favourite. Yes!!! Veggiesssssss 😂 Not only do they make our recipe colourful, they have some many healthy benefits when added to our recipe.(Heat for 1-2 minutes)
Finally I added my chopped parsley and allowed to heat for a minute.
And Viola!!!
I added my eggs to the meal( the Doctor has to be far away 😂)
Its time to eattttt

Thank You so much.

I can't wait for you to prepare Afang soup - My favorite - and share with us.
😂😂😂 Well well... Thank You so much. That's currently one of my favorite soups. I'll look into that some other time.
Really? It's nice to know we have same favorite soup. The last time I was in Uyo, no week passed by without me preparing it😊. I missed that soup a lot.
By the way, you seems not to be that active here. If you really wanna grow fast and gain more influence, you have to consider giving Hive more time and be active here.
More so, you need recourse credit or Hive power to be able to interact with people here and make more posts. I guess the person that referred you didn't tell you. Anyway, I delegated a token of 20HP to you. I hope that helps.
Hive on...
Wow! This is huge!!! I sincerely appreciate your concern. I've just been quite busy. But definitely, I'll do better.
Thank You once again 😊🙏🏻
You are most welcome.
