Spaghetti Bolognese; The perfect comfort food!



Literally takes 30 to 40 minutes to whip up. It is filling and comforting at the same time. 

Ingredients:


1/2 KG Chicken/Beef Mince (I used Chicken)
1 medium onion chopped
1/2 TBS Garlic Paste
1/2 TBS Ginger Paste
Oil
1 to 2 tsp crushed black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp crushed oregano
3 large tomatoes blanched-peeled-pureed
1/2 Jar of Pizza Sauce
Directions:

1. Saute onion in lil oil. Add G/G paste
2. Fry the mince on high heat till water evaporates and oil comes up
3. season with salt, white pepper, a little red chili powder if you wish to, oregano and black pepper
4. Add the puree of fresh tomatoes
5. Once the puree is cooked and oil separates add the pizza sauce
6. Cook till sauce is cooked and oil comes on top
7. Cook the spaghetti till aldente. Don't throw the cooking liquid though.
8. Add about 3 large spoonfuls of pasta liquid to sauce. Boil sauce once and then turn off heat. I cook the entire sauce on high heat, and its ready in 30 mins max. 
9. Add two cups of cooking liquid to spaghetti in a large pot. Add sauce on top, mix well and cook on medium heat till saucy but not too much liquid remains. 
10. For garnishing I added chopped green chilies but you can omit them.
TIP: for some extra spicy flavor you can blend some green chilies with the tomatoes.
