Hey Momma, I'm Hungry!

Hello there! I hope that you have stumbled your way through the majority of the week and are now getting prepared for that wonderful thing called a weekend. Mother's Day is on Sunday - and I work. Not excited at all. Yesterday, I had a wonderful day off. I took DJ to school, got some Starbucks, and bought the materials to make a mail organizer.

 It came out looking awesome and I had all the mail sorted in ten minutes flat. I was excited. So excited that I decided to continue the DIY festivities with some homemade pasta. Attachments for my Kitchenaid were my Christmas present this past year - but I didn't open them until April. There's really nothing like homemade pasta. It's just so very satisfying. This bolognese can be made in advance and heated up, so let's get started with this delicious, homemade sauce.

Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cup grated carrots and 1 diced onion. Cook several minutes, stirring occassionally. 

Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 tablespoon of italian seasoning. Cook until meat has browned and seasoning is evenly distributed. 

To the beef mixture, add 6 ounces of tomato paste, 5 minced cloves of garlic, 1 cup of red wine, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Deglaze by scraping the bottom of the pan. 

Add two 28 ounce cans of whole tomatoes and 1 cup of milk. Just do it, trust me. 

Then, be a total bad ass and break your spoon smashing the tomatoes. True story.

Allow to simmer anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Off to the fridge it goes - a sauce prepped in advance and waiting to be eaten with a homemade or boxed pasta of choice. It's delicious either way! 

Quick Recap: 
- Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil over medium heat. 
- Add 1 1/2 cup of carrots and 1 onion, stir often until tender. 
- Add 1 pound ground beef and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Stir until brown and combined. 
- Add 6 ounces tomato pasta, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup of red wine, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. 
- Add 2 28 ounce cans of whole tomatoes and 1 cup of milk. 
- Simmer for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Enjoy!
