FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Slice the onion and sauté it over medium heat in a saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil. When the onion becomes translucent, add the ground meat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then pour in the tomato sauce, water, and peas. Season with salt, pepper, sprinkle with basil and bicarbonate*. Mix well and let it simmer over medium heat for at least one hour.
• 2.   Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius.
• 3.   Cook the tortellini until "al dente". Drain them. In a large bowl, combine the tortellini with 2/3 of the bolognese sauce. Add the grated cheese and mix well. Transfer everything to a gratin dish.
• 4.   Pour the remaining bolognese sauce on top. Add diced mozzarella and bake for 15-20 minutes until it is golden and bubbly.
• 5.   Serve hot straight from the oven.
• 6.   Enjoy!

Notes & Suggestions

• *To eliminate the acidity of the tomato without adding sugar to the sauce, simply add baking soda at the beginning of cooking.
