A simple sauce that is super flavourful and goes beautifully with all kinds of pastas, even works wonderfully in lasagnas!
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup oil
¼ kg beef mince
2-3 onions, chopped fine
1 tsp. garlic paste
½ tsp. ginger paste
oregano (optional)
1 tbsp. sugar
6-8 fresh tomatoes, blended with skin or chopped fine
2-3 tbsp. tomato paste
chopped coriander
1 tsp. chili powder or flakes
1 green chili chopped finely
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil, then fry the onions until translucent, then add the ginger and garlic pastes. Fry for a minute, then add the mince and fry on high heat until brown and crumbly. Use a wooden spoon to break any lumps in the meat.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and all the herbs and spices, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let this simmer for about an hour until most of the liquid is gone and you have a thick sauce. The longer you simmer this the tastier the results.
Once thick, turn off the heat and use! This sauce can also be frozen and used whenever needed. :)

Hi fauziya can i use olive oil for oil in this recipie
Hi yes you can.
i used lasagna sheets to make lasagna .the sause came out well but once i finished baking the lasagna sheets were very hard tough around the corners ,soft in the middle though.i would be obliged if you could reason me why does that happen.salams sister
Did you check to see if the lasagna sheets that you used needed to be boiled first before being used in the recipe?
yes .i did boil them as per the instructions.. yet it was hard around the corners
Ok, next time cover any open part of the sheets with the white sauce or the bolognese sauce to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
