    • 🧅 1 yellow onion
  • Protein

    • 3/4 pound lean ground beef
  • Condiment

    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1/4 cup low-sodium tomato paste
  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1 cup 2% milk
    • 🧀 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Put skillet on the stove over medium heat and when it is hot, add oil.

2

Add carrot, celery, and onion and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown.

3

Raise the heat to high. Pinch off tablespoon-sized pieces of the beef and add a few at a time, stirring well between additions. Cook, breaking the meat apart until it is no longer raw, starts to give off liquid, and no longer clumps together.

4

Add the water, tomatoes, and tomato paste, stirring well. Cook about 10 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

5

Slowly stir in the milk, a little bit at a time. Turn the heat down to low and cook 45 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed.

6

Fill a large pot halfway with water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

7

Add the pasta and about 12 minutes cook until just tender.

8

Drain the pasta and divide into 4 bowls.

9

Top each bowl with about 3/4 cup Bolognese and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

10

Serve right away.
