Whole wheat penne w/ homemade bolognese
I woke up with a craving for pasta. It’s my own fault for frequenting Food Porn Daily before bed… Geez. Bad idea much?
Anyway, after doing a buttload of dishes that accumulated during the week, I ventured out to Vons for some produce. What I got? Ground beef. Lots of fruit and veggies.
So it was getting to be lunchtime by the time I got home. I started some olive oil in a big ol’ pan, and browned up that beef while chopping up some mirepoix. Dumped that in. Seasoned that baby. Looked at the half bottle of wine I had on hand. I had intended on using a cup or so, but slip of the hand, and oh! In went the entire half bottle. Whoops. So I stirred in a good bit of tomato sauce, although I would have used paste if I had it, popped in some herbs and a bay leaf, and a while (and I mean a while) later, all that stuff came together into a meaty sauce. Then I cooked me up some whole wheat penne, and put the suckers together. Voila! Brunch is served! At… 1 pm. Whoops.
Craving satisfied.
