- We put the water to heat in a large pot and when it starts to boil, add 5 teaspoons of salt. The macaroni is poured and stirred so that they separate and do not stick together. The fire should not be maximum but if I live for the pasta to dance.

We fry the vegetables for the tomato sauce

- In a large deep frying pan, put enough oil and fry the vegetables without adding salt.

Encourage you to make this homemade Bolognese Sauce because after trying it, you will not want another.
We assemble the pasta bolognese
- In the same frying pan where we have prepared the Bolognese meat sauce, pour the macaroni and stir until the sauce is well integrated. We let them heat together for a few minutes so that the pasta takes on the flavor of the sauce.
- There are those who prefer to serve the pasta on the plate and then pour the bolognese sauce over it with a ladle so that each diner mixes it to their liking. Although it is more “aesthetic” in this way, personally I prefer to mix the macaroni with the sauce in the pan, since they tend to drain and when mixed they can come off the plate. On the other hand, the flavors are better integrated when we mix them in a wok pan. But like everything, this goes in tastes.
- We serve in a deep dish accompanied with grated Parmesan cheese on top and we can also garnish with whole basil leaves.
Keep in mind that you can use different types of pasta to vary the macaroni, such as these shells that are also very pleasant to eat due to their ease of pricking and their small size.
And now we just have to enjoy these delicious simple bolognese recipe, we hope you like them!
