Dinner for Three // Spaghetti Bolognaise ala Sacre and Hickey

There is something very special about an evening spent with friends making culinary creations in the kitchen. We came to the table with a faint idea of what we would make, but it turned out even better than expected


Pauline, Margot's sister, is from Belgium and their family makes killer meals. I had the privilege of traveling with them in January and tasting some of their dishes. So, Pauline and I had the idea to make a traditional meal her family grew up eating and is widely popular across Europe. The recipe is simple, delicious, and can be made even tastier with a few adjustments to the tradition bolognaise.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 onion
• 3 large tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 large carrots
• 1 package noodles
• 1 lb. any meat of choice (I prefer turkey)
• homemade pesto
• ketchup

DIRECTIONS

1. Sautee the garlic and onion in a little oil until onions are translucent. Add carrots and cook down until soft.

2. Meanwhile, dice tomatoes. Once carrots are cooked down, add to mixture and turn burner on low.                         Simmer until soft and mash the tomatoes every once in a while to break them down.

3. Brown meat and add to tomato sauce. 

4. Cook pasta as directed. Once all is finished, put noodles and sauce in a bowl. Top with a dollup of pesto and ketchup and mix in.

This recipe is delicious and simple and one of my favorite any time dishes.

Enjoy!
