Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Mafalda Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the mafalda pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3

Add the Meat

Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

4

Add Garlic and Tomatoes

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then add the canned crushed tomatoes, red wine, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

5

Simmer the Sauce

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasonings to taste.

6

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked mafalda pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

7

Serve

Serve the mafalda bolognese in bowls, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
