If you are partial to Italian cuisine, or even if you just love the pasta, the pasta with Bolognese sauce should you like. This dish is somewhat reminiscent of the familiar to us pasta with goulash. Still, it's not just pasta and not goulash. This is a real Italian dish that is very popular among Aboriginal and gaining popularity in our country.
However, in order to cook authentic Italian pasta with bolognese sauce, it is necessary, first, to buy the "right" of spaghetti, and secondly, should be able to cook them properly. And, of course, you must properly prepare itself bolognese sauce. Try?
Choose and cook spaghetti
Taste and quality is determined spaghetti wheat varieties from which they are cooked. For the production of this Italian spaghetti (which will not recover) use only durum wheat. Russian manufacturers are marked spaghetti group A. In addition to the structure of this pasta contains only water and flour. Of course, to determine the authenticity indicated on the packaging of flour durum possible only in laboratory conditions. Therefore, we believe in the word of domestic producers.
However, selecting group A spaghetti, still pay attention to some nuances. Firstly, these noodles are sold only pre-pack. Second, they differ in appearance. These pasta pleasant amber color, translucent with visible on the surface of patches of dark spots. They are not boiled soft, and the water is clear after them.
So, choosing spaghetti, we have to properly boil. Take a large pot and pour water into it from the calculation: one hundred grams of spaghetti - one liter of water. Now put the pot on the fire (maximum) and wait until the water has boiled. To boil it quickly in a saucepan add a few pinches of salt. Then, boiling water is slowly lowered spaghetti, so that they would fit in the pan, and wait until the water boils again, and then diminish the fire (to the middle).
Cook the spaghetti, stirring constantly (to watch the cooking time on the package). When the noodles are almost ready, we throw out them from the pot into a colander and give to drain excess water. Immediately served at the table, watering or mix with the sauce. Therefore, the sauce at this point has to be prepared.
Classic Bolognese sauce
Prepare a classic sauce in our reality is problematic because it includes pancetta (Italian bacon), which we find difficult (if not impossible). Nevertheless, the need for such a sauce following ingredients:
300 g of minced pork and beef (crude);
100g Italian bacon
1 stalk of celery;
1 onion;
1 carrot;
1 cup milk or cream;
1 glass of red table wine;
800 g tomatoes, canned in own juice;
30 g butter;
3 garlic cloves;
2 tablespoons olive oil;
Sachet spicy Italian herbs;
Pepper, salt and nutmeg (ground).
Preparation:
My vegetables and clean and then finely chop them. Also crushed and pancetta. Then pour into a saucepan the olive oil and butter and fry the bacon and vegetables (about ten minutes). Then add in the fried minced meat and continue to fry for another ten minutes, then pour the milk in a saucepan and simmer the sauce already on low heat. When the milk is absorbed into the ground meat, add to the sauce of red wine and continue to cook until our dish thickens. All this time, do not forget to stir the sauce.
The next step will be the preparation of the sauce addendum tomatoes and spices. Tomatoes mash to a pulp, mix with all provisions of the recipe spices (add them to your liking) and spread in a saucepan. Then we diminish the heat to minimum, cover the skillet with a lid and leave the sauce stew for two hours. How long? But it is necessary for the recipe. If the sauce is too time to thicken, then pour in a little hot water.
In fact, after this time the Bolognese sauce is considered ready. And you can serve it with spaghetti.

1 head of onions;
1 carrot;
4 tablespoons of tomato paste;
1 cup beef broth;

And instead of the beef broth is not forbidden to take the bouillon cube and dissolve it in half a glass of hot water. So, my carrot, clean, rub on a grater and passeruem (on low heat) in a frying pan with vegetable oil. Note that we just passeruem carrot rather than fry, that is, do not let it brown.
When the half-cooked carrots, add to the pan, finely chopped onion and continue to sauté all together. Once the vegetables are soft, spread the stuffing in the pan. We add heat and fry the beef, breaking it up into the grains and making sure it does not stick together in large clumps.
