4 tablespoons of your Beef Bone Broth Hearty Original

Method

Put a large saucepan on a medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the onions, garlic, carrots, celery and rosemary leaves. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
Crumble in the mince, turn the heat up to high and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until browned all over, stirring and breaking it up with a cooking spoon as you go.
Add the Beef Bone Broth Hearty Original powder and stir through the mix.
Add the tomato purée, vinegar, rosemary and bay leaves.
Stir well, turn the heat up to high and bring to the boil.
Season with pepper, reduce to a low heat, then cover and simmer for around 10 minutes or up to an hour if you have time. Stirring occasionally.
When ready, remove the lid and continue cooking for 15 minutes, or until thickened and reduced.
While this simmers, cook your rigatoni according to packet instructions.
Pick out and discard the bay leaves.
Divide the pasta between your bowls, add a spoon of bolognese to each bowl and sprinkle with parmesan cheese (if using), then serve.
