No Fuss Pasta Bolognese

16 min

6 servings

The Multipurpose Steamer is ideal for preparing any small shaped pasta like shells, macaroni, penne, or fusilli. Add a simple sauce, like this easy Bolognese and you’ve got a delicious meal on the table. If you have time, let the sauce simmer longer for deeper depth of flavour.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked small shell pasta
  • 6 cups hot water
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef, or meatless substitute
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 1⁄2 pkg Speedy Lasagna Seasoning
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • Sea Salt, to taste

Preparation

  1. Place pasta in Multipurpose Steamer. Stir in water. Cover; microwave on high until al dente, 10 min.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in Wok over medium-high heat. Crumble in beef; cook, using Ground Meat Separator to break up chunks, until meat is cooked through, 4–5 min.
  3. Stir in canned tomatoes (don’t drain the diced ones!) and seasoning. Allow the sauce to come to a boil. Partially cover; reduce heat to medium and let simmer 5 min for flavours to blend. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Once cooked, drain pasta. Spoon into bowls, add sauce, and topping, if desired.
