Tonight's dish comes from a compilation of recipes that go along with a CD. You are supposed to cook the dishes as you listen to the music. We own Smooth Cooking with smooth jazz music and Pleasures of the Caribbean with Calypso and Reggae music. We chose a recipe from Smooth Cooking but chose not to listen to the smooth jazz CD. Pappardelle with Bolognese sauce. As always, the recipe seems easy. Make your own pasta sauce and add the store-bought pasta.We went to the store and met our first hurdle, no Pappardelle. It is a short, fat pasta so we bought the closest thing: Linguine.
We began to make the sauce, pureed the tomatoes, mixed the spices and cut carrots and celery and then we read this: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 11/2 to 2 hours! Let's just say that we did not factor this into our time line.
We tried an aggressive simmer for 20 minutes to try to get the right consistency in the sauce. It turned out alright. The carrots were a bit crunchy, but in the end we would totally make it again. Linguine with Bolognese sauce:
