Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add the Meat

    Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine (if using), oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Mix Pasta and Sauce

    Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
