@seattlehanddoc This is dinner + lunch meal prep for 5 this week. My dream as a mom was to make recipes that my kids loved so much they would ask me to make it on repeat… spent months perfected this recipe. This is my the most requested meal by our kids. Second, is our Parmesan Crusted chicken Spaghetti Bolognese packed with vegetables & served with a salad… it is a home-run every time! Nancy’s Bolognese Ingredients •1⅓ C olive oil @garciadelacruzoliveyou •4 pounds grape/cherry tomatoes Or •2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes •2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes, drained •2 (28 oz) cans whole peeled tomatoes, crushed •20 garlic cloves, minced •2 yellow onions, diced .2 zucchinis, chopped small. •4 carrots, shredded (~2 cups) • 5 celery stalks, diced •2 Tbsp dried basil •2 Tbsp dried oregano •1 Tbsp dried tarragon •1 small can tomato paste •2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon chicken base •. 2-3 lbs ground beef(go vegetarian with minced shiitake mushrooms, or @impossiblemeat •Salt to taste •Shortcut: Use 2–3 jars marinara instead of canned tomatoes *** Optional, we save Parmesan rinds and store them in the freezer. Then we use them, as seen in the video, to add flavor and richness to sauces so if you want add a couple to your sauce while it’s cooking and remember to remove and compost them after. ⸻ Instructions 1. Tomato Sauce (if not using marinara): Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large pot. Add 10 cloves garlic, all tomatoes, and 1 Tbsp salt. Simmer 25 min; then blend. 2. Veggie & Beef Mix: In a pan, heat ⅓ cup olive oil. Add remaining 10 garlic cloves (30 sec), then onions, celery, zucchini & carrots + salt (2 min). Add basil, oregano, tarragon (1 min), then tomato paste + bouillon (1 min). Add beef, salt, and cook until browned. 3. Combine & Simmer: Stir tomato sauce into the beef mixture. Add Parmesan rind if using. Add water to thin out the sauce as you go…. Simmer 10–15 min.
