Homemade Pappardelle Bolognese

by

Homemade Pappardelle Bolognese | LeMoine Family Kitchen .... Incredible homemade pasta topped with the BEST Bolognese Sauce! The sauce is finished with mascarpone cheese. This is a meal made in heaven!

 

“Mom, you should make this every night”, “So good, you should win an award”. Quotes from my 5 year old son and my Sicilian grandmother while eating this incredible Homemade Pappardelle Bolognese! I totally agree, well I don’t know if I should get an award BUT this was by far one of the best pasta dishes I have ever made! The pasta is homemade; mixed, rolled and cut with no machines. The sauce simmered for hours and is so flavorful, rich and hearty. Just about everyone at the dinner table went for seconds and everyone left with a very happy belly. …

Chicken Bolognese over Creamy Polenta

Italian food is in my blood. A huge part of my love for cooking stems from cooking with my grandparents and mom. There are many aromas, ingredients and dishes that bring back the most wonderful memories to me. While there is no duplicating my grandmas cooking {why is it that even when they tell you what to do it never tastes the same???}, I do love putting my own twists on dishes. Chicken bolognese is not a dish my grandmother would make but I love using chicken in place of beef. So came this dish, Chicken Bolognese over Creamy Polenta. …

With clean eating in mind, this recipe is a fantastic example that clean eating doesn’t have to be boring! This sauce is incredibly flavorful and made up of lots of good for you veggies! I also added some shredded rotisserie chicken. This lovely bolognese is served over whole grain pasta. Another recipe that you will not be missing the beef! Oh, and the kiddos ate it up!

Zucchini & Bolognese Bake

I really wasn’t sure what to call these dish of deliciousness so I went with Zucchini & Bolognese Bake… I’d describe it as a cross between lasagna and eggplant parm. Those Italian classics aren’t by an means figure friendly. This Zucchini & Bolognese Bake is lightened up a bit, there is no pasta and the bolognese is made from lean ground turkey and veggies. The sauce is nice and chunky so your bake doesn’t get watery. I had extra sauce in the end, so i’ll be tossing that with some pasta tonight.  This dish is plenty filling that a simple side salad makes for a perfect meal!

Veggie Packed Turkey Bolognese

I am a sucker for a really good bolognese, my favorite by far is from Sirenas Ristorante in Long Branch! Oh my, it is incredible!!! I’ve also had some bad meat sauce too and no one wants that! Bolognese should be flavorful beyond a basic tomato sauce and the meat tender. I had some ground turkey and thought i’d try to make a not so classic bolognese. Its filled with veggies and lean meat and oh so flavorful! Simmered for 2 hours, the meat and veggies are perfectly tender and all the flavors have melded into the sauce. The flavors reminded me of chicken cacciatore and I love that dish! This is a great twist on a classic! Make is perfect by serving over fresh pasta. I know fresh pasta is a a couple more dollars more then dry but it really is worth it!
