ID: 15d5b4d4...
A rich, single-serving spaghetti bolognese made entirely in one pot in under 30 minutes. By grating the aromatics directly into the browned meat and cooking the pasta straight in the sauce, the starch naturally emulsifies to create a glossy, clinging sauce with minimal cleanup.

Introduction
A rich, single-serving spaghetti bolognese made entirely in one pot in under 30 minutes. By grating the aromatics directly into the browned meat and cooking the pasta straight in the sauce, the starch naturally emulsifies to create a glossy, clinging sauce with minimal cleanup.
Step 1
Heat vegetable oil in a pot over high heat.
Step 2
Add the beef mince to the hot pot. Break it apart and brown it thoroughly until a deep caramelized fond forms on the bottom of the pot.
Step 3
Peel the carrot and grate it directly into the pot with the meat.
Step 4
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir to mix the grated carrot with the beef.
Step 5
Grate the celery stalk directly into the pot. The tough outer fibers will naturally separate on the grater and can be discarded.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Grating the vegetables directly into the pot eliminates prep dishes and helps them cook down and release moisture much faster.
Do not worry if the beef sticks; the browned bits (fond) on the bottom of the pot carry the concentrated flavor that will enrich the entire sauce.
Anchovy paste and soy sauce act as savory enhancers; they will not make the dish taste fishy or like Asian cuisine, but will make the beef taste meatier.
Cooking the pasta directly in the sauce allows the released starches to naturally emulsify and thicken the sauce without needing butter or roux.
