Pasta Bolognese

Corinna — Wed, 26 May 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Some days it just has to be pasta – and what sauce usually fits better than a good Bolognese? You can find it in many places all over the world, but a really good Bolognese is rarely there. Sometimes the sauce is too oily, sometimes too watery and sometimes even without tomato flavor. My recipe for Bolognese is fresh, tomato-sweet and spicy and is based on the Italian original.

Have you ever eaten or even prepared an original Italian Bolognese? If so, then you probably know that the right Bolognese should simmer at least 2h, if not longer. I tried the long cooking time in this recipe and can tell you that it is worth it! The long cooking time makes the bolognese sauce super smooth, tender and soft. All the ingredients combine through the long cooking time and out comes an intense, flavorful and round sauce. By the way, did you know that the original Italian recipe includes bacon in addition to ground beef, carrots, celery and tomatoes? Neither did I! Unfortunately, I didn’t have any pancetta on hand for this bolognese, so I left it out of this recipe. If you’re curious, give it a try.

By the way, for my bolognese I used linguine – a slightly thicker spaghetti. The sauce sticks a little better than on thin spaghetti, but if you like it more traditional, of course, you can just go for spaghetti. No matter what type of pasta, this sauce is ultimately the queen of the recipe! As a side dish to this delicious Pasta Bolognese, I can furthermore recommend my simple lettuce with Grandma’s salad dressing. This makes the recipe really round.

Tex-Mex burrito

Corinna — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 09:30:45 +0000

Whether as a meal prep or for a quick after-work meal – burritos are great for both situations! In this post, I’ll show you how to prepare a delicious, low-calorie Tex-Mex burrito in less than 30 minutes.

For far too long I haven’t prepared a classic fast food myself. The last time I saw and ate such delicious burritos at a food market in Amsterdam, it didn’t take long to make these burritos myself at home. With this huge variety of burrito fillings, I decided on a classic Tex-Mex variant with minced meat, corn, kidney beans, tomatoes, avocado and lettuce. This Tex-Mex burrito was rounded off with cream cheese and a little creme fraiche for the perfect creaminess inside.

This burrito is definitely something fine for a quick hunger or the big burrito obzession. If you couldn’t get enough of this burrito, you can prepare several servings directly and simply freeze them. Then the burrito just needs to be thawed and briefly warmed up in the microwave or oven. This feast is ready for any point in time.

Meatloaf with feta

Corinna — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 09:30:49 +0000

Meatloaf comes in many different varieties. I like it best filled with feta and in this post I’ll show you how to easily prepare this variant.

If you enter the keyword meatloaf on Google, you will be overwhelmed by dozens of results with recipes. There are endless variations: pure meatloaf, meatloaf with various spices, stuffed meatloaf or meatloaf with bacon. Personally, I prefer the simple version filled with feta. I prefer to use pure ground beef, as the mixed version combined with feta simply brings too much fat on the plate.

My recipe for meatloaf with feta is simple and easy: You need pure ground beef (ideally from a local butcher) and an old bread roll soaked in water. In addition there is feta, some Dijon mustard, 1 organic egg, some butter as well as onion, garlic and selected spices. From these ingredients you form an even meat dough that is simply cooked in the oven. For the meatloaf, I recommend delicious boiled potatoes and a simple green salad as a side dish.
