Mushroom & Beef Spaghetti Bolognese

Cutting back on the beef and bulking up with mushrooms makes this version of a classic Bolognese hearty without being heavy.  Our sauce delivers the fresh ingredients that you’ll need for great flavor.  Make it yours with some red wine and a touch of cream.

Cooking Directions

  • Season the beef as desired.  Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the beef, mushrooms, carrots and garlic and cook until the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate meat.
  • Increase the heat to high.  Add the wine and heat to a boil.  Boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Reduce the heat to medium.  Add the sauce and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the half and half.  Season to taste.  Add the spaghetti and toss to coat.  Serve with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
