Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Linguine

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and Set Aside

    Once cooked, drain the linguine and reserve a cup of pasta water. Set linguine aside.

Preparing Bolognese Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Brown the Meat

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

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking Mushrooms

  1. 6

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 7

    Steam Mixed Vegetables

    In a pot with a steamer basket, place mixed vegetables and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

Making Garlic Bread

  1. 8

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley together.

  2. 9

    Spread on Baguette

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves.

  3. 10

    Toast Garlic Bread

    Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serving
