Lazy pasta Bolognese

Based on 12 ratings
"I found this dish on the YouTube channel Pasta Grannies, which is supposed to be a wedding dinner food. What really motivates me to make it is that how simple it seems: ingredients are thrown in a cold pot all at once, then it becomes a tasty bolognese-ish meat sauce in 30 minutes. I adapted the original recipe and used minced meat (or the veggie version, that works great!) and omitted the spice typical of Sardinia for practical reasons. Which, of course, can not be substituted in any case (only in absolute emergencies): the Sardinian specific pasta type, called gnocchetti sardi."
