Quick and easy pasta recipe

I worked months on this recipe for the 2013 World Food Championships, a variant of my other Bolognese recipes that won awards, and it was my first build, named the ‘signature’ build of the Las Vegas competition. I used several different items that brought out the flavors and enhanced the depth of this sauce for easy lamb bolognese since I had just about an hour and a half to make a deep, creamy, delicious bolognese.

Cheese and meat pasta

It was completely fabulous, I must admit, and I was shocked it didn’t score higher than it did! One thing, for sure, is that Tiffany, the host of the WFC reality TV show, loved it, and actually sent her assistant back after the round was over to get a whole plate of it!

Bolognese pasta sauce

DOLE Packaged Foods gives you this recipe, but all the almond parmesan bolognese sauce creation and imaginative food artistry, including photography, is solely the work of Ally in her kitchen. Using a shallow white bowl with a broad edge and a narrow opening. Apply a few teaspoons of sauce to the serving plate and swish around. Add a small ‘nest’ of the mixture of the arugula/basil.

Easy cooking for pasta

Put about 1/3 of a cup of sauce best meaty bolognese in it. (Try to keep the greens from hiding) To build a ‘volcano’ like ‘mound’ with an opening, take a long noodle and twirl. Protect it with a toothpick if necessary so that the twirl does not collapse. Through the cavity opening and on top, place a few tablespoons of sauce.

Garnish with rubbed shavings of parmesan Reggiano and chiffonade with sliced basil and chopped parsley. Use this to make your delicious Smoked Chipotle Red Wine Beef Short Ribs.

Yummy pasta sauce

I grew up eating sauce from Bologna, but I had no idea that it was really called sauce from Bologna. Basically, we just name it spaghetti meat sauce in Arabic. I made pasta bolognese from an Italian cookbook as I began to learn to cook and test traditional recipes to learn proper cooking methods and techniques. Wow!-Wow! I found that it was pretty much like a recipe from my mom. And frankly, I kind of liked my mom’s because it was easier and healthier.
