Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free penne pasta
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 large, chopped Onion
- 1 large, diced Carrot
- 1 diced Celery stalk
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 28 oz can Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 cup Red wine
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Cook the gluten-free penne pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery; sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Pour in the red wine, stirring to scrape any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the wine has slightly reduced.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thickened and flavors have melded.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Add the cooked gluten-free penne to the skillet with the Bolognese sauce, stirring gently to coat the pasta thoroughly.
Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil, if desired.
