Bolognese Sauce

By McLean

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 (15-oz.) cans tomato sauce
• 1 beef bouillon packet
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

In large pan, brown the beef over medium-high heat. Drain off excess liquid and add the carrot, onion and garlic. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.

Add the remaining ingredients; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to "marry", stirring occasionally.

Note: Mix this sauce with 1 1/2 lbs. cooked rigatoni.
