A lot of bloggers delight in trying new things - myself included.
That's why I belong to three on-line cooking groups:
Cellentani with Bolognese Sauce
However, John and I love returning to tried and true recipes. We don't re-post them often, but it's been a long time since we featured our delicious Bolognese Sauce. Although Bolognese is traditionally served over Fettucine, tonight we served it with Cellentani. The shorter pastas are a little less messy to eat and capture lots of sauce. (Some professional pasta maker just shook his head and spit out, "Americana," with his hands raised helplessly! To him, I apologize.)
I also used Novy Ranches grass-fed ground beef which made this sauce even more delicious!

Be sure top your pasta with lots of grated Parmesan Cheese!
I really wanted to serve this pasta with fresh Foccacia bread and was thrilled to find this recipe from King Arthur Flour that goes from yeast to bread in less than 2 hours. I didn't have any of the optional special ingredients, so left them our (I sense a KAF order coming up soon...). I used plain Olive Oil inside the bread and to grease the pan, but topped the bread with Basil Olive Oil , Tuscan Sunset herbs, and Sea Salt.
This bread is so simple, versatile, and delicious! And, we have enough left to make delicious sandwiches tomorrow!

Oh I love the way this meal looks…from the pasta to the foccacia…just wonderful! Don’t you just love King Arthur’s? Great meal, Susan!
ReplyDeleteSome food items are definitely worth revisiting :-) Frankly, nothing beats a good foccaccia fresh out of the oven.
ReplyDeleteI love homemade foccacia, how delicious! You're right, it makes an excellent sandwich too.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I have to see this just as I was about to eat a bowl of dry cereal? Wow, This looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great shot of the heron...wow. And your tried and true recipes look delish! Loving that pasta shape...I'll have to keep a look out for it. Hope you're enjoying your weekend, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThat bird doesn't look real - great photo!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing you two do, use a pasta that holds the sauce AND doesn't spew all over everything. Anything that can help on a weeknight I'm all for.
Looks delicious.
Now that's a great meal. An amazing meal! Bolognese sauce and foccacia. I love it. There is no food more comforting to me than bread and pasta.
ReplyDeleteI have made this bread before but don't make it very often because I would eat the whole thing ... it's extremely good but bread & pasta are my downfall :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful!!!!
