Spicy Roasted Beet & Beef Pasta Bolognese
It's no secret that I like Tomato Sauce, Spicy Pasta, and Beets. Put them all together and you have this amazing 1 pot (2 with the pasta pot) dinner! This recipe has the classic elements of a Bolognese - soffrito, red wine, the meat and sauce cooked together. But with a hidden boost of flavor with the roasted beets. You know what else is great about this recipe? You can trick the kiddos into eating MORE vegetables! Who doesn't like a win-win recipe!
