No Fuss Pasta Bolognese
The Multipurpose Steamer is ideal for preparing any small shaped pasta like shells, macaroni, penne, or fusilli. Add a simple sauce, like this easy Bolognese and you’ve got a delicious meal on the table. If you have time, let the sauce simmer longer for deeper depth of flavour.
Ingredients
- 3 cups uncooked small shell pasta
- 6 cups hot water
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef, or meatless substitute
- 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) crushed tomatoes
- 1⁄2 pkg Speedy Lasagna Seasoning
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Sea Salt, to taste
Preparation
- Place pasta in Multipurpose Steamer. Stir in water. Cover; microwave on high until al dente, 10 min.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in Wok over medium-high heat. Crumble in beef; cook, using Ground Meat Separator to break up chunks, until meat is cooked through, 4–5 min.
- Stir in canned tomatoes (don’t drain the diced ones!) and seasoning. Allow the sauce to come to a boil. Partially cover; reduce heat to medium and let simmer 5 min for flavours to blend. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Once cooked, drain pasta. Spoon into bowls, add sauce, and topping, if desired.
