Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Éplucher les légumes

    Épluche les carottes et coupe-les en petits dés. Épluche l’oignon et coupe-le en fines lamelles.

  2. Faire revenir les légumes

    Dans la poêle antiadhésive, fais chauffer l’huile d’olive à feu moyen. Ajoute les oignons et les carottes, fais revenir 5 min en remuant.

  3. Ajouter la viande

    Ajoute la viande hachée dans la poêle. Fais-la dorer à feu vif en émietant bien avec la cuillère en bois, sans ajouter de matière grasse.

    Tip · Pour éviter que la viande ne rende trop d’eau, fais-la bien dorer sans la presser avec la cuillère.

  4. Assaisonner et mijoter

    Saupoudre d’une pincée de sel, de poivre et de l’origan. Verse les tomates concassées, mélange et laisse mijoter à feu doux 15 min en remuant de temps en temps.

    Tip · Si la sauce est trop liquide, laisse-la réduire à feu vif 2-3 min de plus sans couvercle.

  5. Cuire les pâtes

    Pendant que la sauce mijote, porte à ébullition 1,5 L d’eau dans la casserole. Sale légèrement l’eau, ajoute les spaghetti et fais cuire 10 min à feu vif. Égoutte dans la passoire sans rincer.

  6. Mélanger et servir

    Répartis les spaghetti dans les assiettes, nappe de sauce bolognaise et mélange légèrement.
