Cooking Recipe Penne Bolognese
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking
over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until
softened about 5 minutes. Stir in the carrot, celery, and 1/3 cup of
water and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has
evaporated about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the ground beef and cook
until no longer pink about 4 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the
liquid has evaporated about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, 2/3
cup of milk, the salt, pepper and oregano, reduce to a simmer and
cook, stirring frequently, until the milk has been absorbed. Continue
to cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, gradually adding the
remaining 1 cup milk until all has been absorbed about 20 minutes
longer. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water
until just tender. Drain well. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl.
Add the pasta, parsely, if desired and the Parmesan and toss to
combine. Spoon the Penne Bolognese into 4 serving bowls. Suggested
accompaniments: Shredded Belgian endive with cooked frown artichoke
hearts tossed with a nonfat Italian dressing.
