Gluten Free Bolognese
This rich and delicious gluten free bolognese sauce is perfect with gluten free spaghetti or other kinds of pasta. It's every bit as good as a classic recipe. Gluten free spaghetti bolognese is an easy family dinner, ideal for meal prep and freezing.
Equipment
- large frying pan with lid
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 onions peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and very finely chopped or crushed
- 2 carrots grated
- 2 celery sticks very finely chopped
- 500 g minced beef
- 800 g canned tomatoes 2 cans
- 2 tablespoon tomato puree or paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
- 125 ml red wine or beef stock
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, celery and seasoning. Fry, stirring regularly, for 10 minutes until starting to brown and soften.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the minced beef. Fry the beef for 5 minutes until it has browned. Stir regularly so that it browns on all sides. You might need to chop it up as you stir so that it breaks down.
- Add all of the tomatoes, herbs and red wine or stock. Mix thoroughly. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer for 1 hour.
- After the cooking time, the sauce should have reduced into a thick rich ragu. If there's still a little too much liquid, remove the lid for a few minutes to allow the sauce to reduce further.
Notes
- Gluten free bolognese freezes really well, so it's worth cooking extra!
- You can use a range of herbs in this recipe. Fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, rosemary or parsley go very well. If you've only got dried herbs, woody herbs such as thyme or oregano are best. You'll only need half a tablespoon of dried herbs as they are more concentrated in flavour.
