Ostrich Spaghetti Bolognaise
Ostrich Spaghetti Bolognaise
Bolognese sauce is a classic Italian sauce for pasta usually made with mince meat. It’s slow cooked with a mixture of onions, carrots, celery and tomatoes, as well as milk to give it a creamy texture. Italian or not, Bolognese is as much part of the South African favourites list, as vetkoek and mince or Malva Pudding and custard.
