Ingredients

Bolognaise Sauce
1 onion quartered
1 clove garlic
1 carrot roughly chopped
80 grams Celery
50 grams pancetta (bacon)
30 grams oil
400 grams beef minced in tm31
50 grams red wine
350 grams tomato puree
2 tablespoons tomato paste
salt and pepper to taste


Preparation

Bolognaise Sauce

1.

Place meat into the mixing bowl and mince on closed lid / pulse using the turbo button, never over process, set aside. 

2.

Place onion, garlic, carrot, celery and bacon into the mixing bowl chop 5 sec/speed 5-6 add oil and saute 3 min/100c/speed 1

3.

Add meat and cook 5 min/100c/reverse/speed soft, then add red and wine and cook 5 min/100c/reverse/speed soft.

4.

Add remaining ingredients and cook 15 min/100c/reverse/speed soft, leave the MC in lid in a inclined position to prevent sauce 'spitting.


Tip

By mincing your own meat in the TM31 you will get a better texture in your overall sauce. You can use pre-minced beef, however the result will be a finer / thiner sauce. You may prefer to use this thiner sauce in your lasagne.

When making lasagne you may wish to add more tomato puree to the sauce otherwise your lasagne can dry out from the pasta absorbing the liquid. This will occur more with dry pasta compared to fresh pasta.

Some changes that you can make to this sauce: add some oragano, basil or thyme, and you can also use crushed tinned tomatoes over tomato puree

Thank you!! Turned out great.....

I have converted an age-old

I have converted an age-old favourite recipe that I have always had tremendous success with and it worked magnificently.  Bolognaise Sauce:  didn't use carrot, celery or pancetta or red wine but added 125g mushrooms, fresh rosemary (1/4 t) 1t salt, 1/2 t sugar,1/4 t basil.  Step 4 I cooked twice as long for the embedded flavour, let cool a little and then layered lasagne sheets with meat mix, lasagne sheet, cheese sauce, lasagne sheet and then again all of them.  Looked great, cut great and even better it tasted fabulous.  So much quicker than my old way.

Made this Saturday night it was great, I will definately mince my own meat next time as I found the meat I had was minced to fine other than that the flavours were lovely. Thanks :bigsmile:

I use casserole beef or chuck

I use casserole beef or chuck or blade steak. something with not too much fat as the fat gets a bit stringy. if this happens just pull it off from around the blade. I prefer to mince my meat when partially frozen. i use a combination of forward and reverse until i get a good consitency. About speed 7 or 8 usually. or you can use the turbo button a few times.

Only got my TM today and wanted to try it for the first time for dinner so wanted something very simple.  Turned out to be a great meal with very little prep required and the kids absolutely loved it.  Didn't have Celery or Red Wine so traded them for Zucchini and White Wine.

There are some fantastic tips

There are some fantastic tips here for those of you who have had issues with the Bolognaise Sauce.

We tested a few different variations in the office and this recipe was the favourite. The best tip - mince your own meat. It really does make a difference to the texture and flavour.
