The joy of sipping a glass of red wine while watching a big pot of simmering pasta sauce is one of the things I look forward to most when those winter nights creep in.

A pasta dinner is perfect for sharing with friends as it is easy to make a big batch and there are so many dishes to choose from. It is such an easy and tasty addition to your weekly meal plan. There is an impressive selection of pasta sauces that are tasty either straight from the jar available in-store or super easy to amplify, for that personalized touch.
Bolognese sauce is one of my favourites, there are many variations to this well-known and much-loved meat-based Italian dish. What is common across the various takes on this classic dish is that it is quite simply delicious!

INSTRUCTIONS

Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low and allow to gently simmer for at least 30 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and you have a thick meat sauce in the pot.
