It's easy to whip up a quick version of the classic Italian meat sauce (Bolegnese) when your kids are starving and need a good combination of protein and carbs.
For this version in the photo, I simply sauteed chopped yellow onion in olive oil, stirred in quality ground chuck, added some sea salt, and a bit of crushed garlic.
Use tomato sauce out of the can to add liquid and season it with sugar.
It's much more satisfying than jarred pasta sauce and only takes 45 minutes of simmering to blend.
In this case I cooked plain spaghetti and tossed in the pot before serving it with a store-bought Italian cheese blend on top. I toasted some Italian bread, buttered it, and sprinkled on a bit of garlic salt on the side. Kids will love it and it's far better than your typical Ragu + pasta. If you have time, grating a brick of Parmesan or Parmesan-Reggiano is a bonus!
