Rigatoni Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

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

2. 2

   Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

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

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Meat

   Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Season and Deglaze

   Stir in the chopped rosemary and thyme. Pour in the red wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5. 5

   Add Tomato Sauce

   Add the tomato sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Once the sauce has thickened, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce and toss to coat well.

7. 7
