In today's practical cooking class, we were making spaghetti bolognese. While making this my group worked excellently and we got to eat our meal and get out of class on time! The end result was delicious but I think that the pasta could have been cooked for longer as it was still kinda hard when we bit into it, otherwise it was delicious and we had the right amount of sauces to complement the seasoning on the meat.
Ingredients:
- Olive Oil
- Onion
- Garlic
- Carrots
- Celery
- Mince
- Basil
- Can of tomatoes
- Tomato puree
- Spaghetti Sticks
Cooking Method:
1. Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion and garlic.
2. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stir frequently until onion is soft.
3. Stir in carrots a celery and cook for another minute.
4. Add mince, stirring until the beef has lost its pink colour.
5. Add basil, tomatoes and tomato puree.
6. Bring mixture to boil then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover for 10-15 minutes.
7. Boil water and then add spaghetti sticks to cook for 10-12 minutes.
8. Drain spaghetti and toss with a little olive oil to avoid sticking.
9. Then arrange your plates dividing the mixture up evenly.
10. Serve and enjoy

Hi Lucy. You comment that your pasta was a little undercooked. How long did you cook it for? 12 min is the usual time it takes and it should not be soft or hard. It is cooked al dente which means firm to bite. You added olive oil to the cooked pasta. Did this stop the sauce from sticking?
