Classic Bolognese

Ingredients

• 250g lean beef mince
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• ½ cup beef stock
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 scoops SAVR Creamy Tomato
• Fresh basil or parsley, to garnish
• Grated Parmesan, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Add the mince and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano, basil and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and beef stock. Season with salt and pepper, then simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
5. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk 2 scoops of SAVR with 4–6 tablespoons of warm water until smooth, then stir it into the sauce until fully combined. If needed, add a splash of water or stock to reach your desired consistency.
6. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired.
