Bolognese with Fries Recipe

Italian · Main course · 60 min total

A hearty Italian-inspired Bolognese sauce served with crispy oven-baked fries for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 500g (1 lb) ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, finely diced
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 400g (14 oz) canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) red wine
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss potato fries with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in red wine and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
5. Add crushed tomatoes, milk, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove bay leaf. Serve Bolognese sauce over the fries.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce.
• Leftover Bolognese can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
• Serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
