How to prepare simple Bolognese spaghetti.

Students in college can surely use an added survival skill or two, just to make school life a bit more manageable. Truly, there are many skills that are helpful, and one of them is cooking easy meals. In this blog, Garry Y. Itkin shares one of the easiest and most delicious meals to prepare, which is Bolognese spaghetti.

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground beef 1 bottle of ready-made marinara sauce 4 cloves of garlic, minced 1 medium onion, chopped Salt and pepper to taste olive oil water 250 grams of uncooked spaghetti noodles 1 bottle of grated parmesan cheese

Start by setting a cooking pot on medium heat. Add in about 3 tablespoons of olive oil after a few seconds. Once the oil is hot enough, put in the minced garlic until it is a bit brown, but not burnt. Then, put in the chopped onion. According to Garry Y. Itkin, the moisture from the onion prevents the garlic from getting toasted.

Saute for a few seconds, and add the ground beef. The fat from the beef will melt and it would seem that the oil will increase, but this adds to the overall flavor of the dish. Add some salt and pepper to taste and let the boiling juices cook the meat further. Afterwards, pour in the marinara sauce, and let simmer for about ten minutes.

Prepare a stock pot and boil about 2 liters of water with some salt. Once this comes to a rolling boil, pour in the uncooked noodles. In cooking the noodles, Garry Y. Itkin reminds you to cook them “al dente”, or just right to the bite. Once the noodles are cooked, place them in a strainer and run under the tap. Once drained, serve some noodles on a plate and top with the sauce and some grated parmesan. It’s time to eat.
