From your shelf
- 1 jar (approximately 24 ounces) Rao's homestyle bolognese sauce
Staples
- 8 ounces pasta
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- for pasta water salt
- to taste pepper
- Put 6 cups of water in a pot with 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Crush 3 garlic cloves and warm them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a second pot over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour the entire jar of Rao's bolognese into the pot with garlic and stir to combine, then lower the heat to medium-low and leave it at a bare simmer while the pasta cooks, stirring once.
- When the water boils, stir in 8 ounces of pasta and cook until one minute short of the package directions.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and tip it into the sauce. Toss, adding a splash of pasta water if the sauce seems tight, and taste for salt and pepper.
Note Swap Rao's with any good jarred bolognese. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days and reheat gently with a splash of water. Serve with grated cheese and a green salad.
