Italians call it pasta al ragú and in its elaboration there are ingredients like wine, carrot, natural tomato... This is an express recipe. A fast bolognesa recipe. Easy and delicious. One of these days I'll post the authentic bolognesa recipe.



Ingredients (2 persons):
200gr of pasta
1 can of fried tomato
1 onion
300gr of chopped meat (Of cow, pig, a mix of them...)
Olive oil

This is a trick that gets good recipe with less ingredients: control the fire.

Now put the fried tomato, slow down the heat, add salt and peeper and keep moving it some minutes. After 10 minutes, prove and add salt or peeper if it's necessary. Cooked the pasta and mix it with the bolognesa sauce. Serve it with grated Parmesan cheese and, if you have fresh herbs like parsley or basil, add it.
