Details
• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 4)
• 400g Pasta Fresh – Fettuccine
• 1 jar (about 500g) Lucia’s Fresh Bolognese Sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 50g grated Parmesan (for serving)
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: 50ml red wine to enrich the sauce

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine for 2–3 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
2. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
   Optional: Add ground beef and cook until browned.
   Pour in Lucia’s Fresh Bolognese Sauce, stir, and optionally add red wine. Simmer for 5–10 minutes to deepen the flavours. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.
4. Plate the fettuccine Bolognese, top with grated Parmesan, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Serving Suggestion:

• Using Lucia’s Fresh Bolognese Sauce dramatically reduces cooking time while keeping flavours rich and authentic.
• For a creamier variation, stir in 1–2 tbsp of cream or milk just before serving.
• Pair with garlic bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
