Hearts Of Palm Pasta Bolognese
This Hearts of Palm Pasta Bolognese is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious classic pasta dish!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ to 1 lb ground beef
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 x 14 oz canned chopped tomatoes
- 3½ cups stock (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
- dried herbs, to taste (optional)
- 12oz hearts of palm pasta
- salt and pepper, to taste
- basil leaves or parsley, freshly chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the meat is nicely browned but not burnt. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add remaining tablespoon of oil to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add onions and cook until translucent, around 5 mins. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, around 2 mins. Add carrot and cooked ground beef (along with the juices) back to the skillet.
- Add tomatoes and stock. Add dried herbs, if desired. Stir to mix well, then bring to a boil before lowering the heat to let the mixture gently simmer for 45 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced sufficiently. It should be rich and thick. Add salt and pepper to taste, if required.
- In another skillet, cook hearts of palm pasta as per package instructions. This usually means to rinse the pasta if it has salt included (such as Palmini) then heat to desired texture. If it has no salt included (such as Trader Joe's), then it's just to heat the pasta.
- Divide pasta among serving plates. Top with bolognese sauce. Garnish with parsley or basil, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
