Rigatoni Bolognese

I went into this with no expectations really, but I ended up really loving it. It's got a very unique and tasty flavor. Definitely worth the try

VERY good sauce. Use wine.

Very good

Absolutely brilliant, did not use wine but used 1 cube of beef broth with 250ml of water. Must say this is the best one I've done so far in terms of taste. Followed the directions of the recipe and all ingredients (except the wine as mentioned)

Whole family loved it

I’ve added more red wine and some raw sugar to balance the acidity, but otherwise very nice.

Bland!

Great! Quick and easy, you can add anything to it!!!

Added worcestershire sauce, paprika, chill flakes and a bit of sugar

I would puree the carrots celery and onion next time. I thought it tasted really good!

Very tasty

Tasted good but needs more tomato sauce and seasoning. Might try again with some modifications

I don’t think I did it right. It was a bit watery and didn’t really taste of anything.

It was okay, wouldn't make it again.

Easy if you start with mirepoix from the store. I got the passata from Amazon. Not quite under 30 minutes but close. I used wine that was not good and it made the sauce feel off. I added it as instructed but added some instead of water in the end because the sauce was too thick. When I went to drink the wine, it was not good. So I will try again with fresher wine.

Love rigatoni!! This does the trick with some extra Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper to the sauce mixture. Terrific flavor with red wine added.

Added Worcestershire and oregano.

I added more spices like garlic, oregano, Basil leaves and parsley flakes.

I added stronger flavours such a cloves and paprika, it was so delicious. Swapped the celery for green pepper as well. Would definitely make this again.

Made with Beyond Beef. If you're using Beyond Beef, which is a plant-based meat substitute, you can take certain steps to enhance its flavor and make it taste more like real beef in your rigatoni bolognese. Here are some suggestions: Sear the Beyond Beef: Start by searing the Beyond Beef in a hot pan with a little oil. This will help develop a browned, meat-like flavor. Cook until it is well-browned and slightly crispy. Add umami-rich ingredients: Umami is the savory taste commonly associated with meat. Enhance the umami flavor in your bolognese by adding ingredients like tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or a splash of balsamic vinegar. These ingredients will give depth to the dish and make it taste more meaty. Incorporate beef-like seasonings: Use seasonings commonly associated with beef to mimic the flavor. This can include ingredients like garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Experiment with the amounts to find the right balance. Use beef-style broth: Instead of using vegetable broth or water, opt for a beef-style broth or stock to cook the Beyond Beef and simmer your bolognese sauce. This will infuse the dish with a richer, meaty flavor. Simmer for a longer time: Letting the bolognese sauce simmer for an extended period can help deepen the flavors and create a more robust taste. Consider simmering it for at least 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together. Consider adding mushrooms: Mushrooms have a meaty texture and can contribute to the overall umami flavor. Finely chop or blend mushrooms and cook them with the Beyond Beef. This will add another layer of depth and enhance the meat-like qualities of the dish. Remember, while these tips can help enhance the flavor of Beyond Beef, it may not taste exactly like real beef. However, by incorporating these suggestions, you can create a delicious and satisfying rigatoni bolognese with a meaty profile.

Added 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce. Also a tsp of garlic and onions powder and some thyme. Switch celery for some mushrooms. Let simmered for close to 1 h as per suggestions.

Easy good bolognese recipe

Excellent! Takes at least an hour to meld all the ingredients. Used beef boulon paste instead of wine. Added tyme because I didn't have a bay leaf. Served with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, red onions and a splash of Italian dressing.

It was so good, quick, and easy! Will definitely make again.

Pretty good recipe. Cooked it for an hour rather than just 15 minutes. Felt more authentic to me

added peas - relatively easy but definitely didn’t take only 30mins

Get a lean mix of ground beef. I used 80/20 and there was way too much grease. Great recipe otherwise

A good recipe to play with.

This meal was super easy to make. I changed a few things. I added a little white wine instead of red wine. I think that lended to a sweeter flavor to the dish. Also I added the pasta right in with the dish to simmer instead of boiling it separately. This meal was so delicious. You can make it any night of the week. Quick and easy.

Used the beef bone broth instead of the wine.

I put two tablespoons of sugar in this along with using a cab wine. This needed a good amount of salt to finish off the sauce so next time I'm going to add a teaspoon of beef bullion when I mix in the wine.

I let the sauce simmer for 35 minutes because I also do for my pasta sauces. The family enjoyed it.

Only added half the wine and substituted the rest with beef stock but might do even less next time. Definitely needs more time to simmer but other wise delicious!

Wasn't overly keen on this, the sauce was a little harsh, too much wine I think.

This was a great way to get come vegetables into my picky 3 year old!! It was delicious and made more. I froze the left overs for a later date.

Very tasty and pretty easy!

tomato ll

Good, but didnt use any wine

Overpowering taste of red wine and sauce was quite watery
