Sunday's lunch: W cooked spaghetti bolognese!
A home-cooked Sunday lunch by BB: spaghetti in a chunky meat sauce with mushrooms and cocktail sausages.
Sunday lunch sorted at home, with BB cooking spaghetti bolognese for us. 🍝😋
What BB made:
- Spaghetti in a chunky meat-and-tomato sauce with mushrooms and cocktail sausages
These lockdown-era home lunches became a bit of a Sunday thing, and BB has got the bolognese down. Two big bowls of spaghetti, boiled just past firm, piled with a generous, chunky meat sauce. The sauce was the homely, slightly Singaporean kind: minced meat simmered down with tomato into a thick, savoury-sweet gravy, with sliced mushrooms and rounds of cocktail sausage through it (the little touch that makes it taste like home).
It is not trying to be a fancy Italian ragu, and that is exactly its charm: comforting, saucy and generous, the sort of plate you happily go back for seconds of. The sauce had a nice tang from the tomato balanced by that gentle sweetness, clinging to the spaghetti so every forkful was well coated.
There is something really nice about a partner cooking you lunch on a lazy Sunday. Simple, hearty and made with care.
Overall: 4.5 / 5. 😋👍🏼 BB’s homely spaghetti bolognese, chunky, saucy and comforting. Keeping it on the Sunday rotation.
