One Pot, No Drain Angel Hair Pasta Bolognese

Today we’ll be teaching you how to make one pot, no drain pasta bolognese. Most pasta dishes require multiple pots – for cooking the pasta, for browning the meat,  for heating the sauce. We’re getting rid of all of that in this easy moving day recipe. The trick is to use angel hair pasta – it soaks up the extra water while cooking, leaving a nice thick sauce to enjoy. Bon appetite!

This delicate pasta dish is made healthy with the addition of mixed greens.

2. One pasta serving utensil

Ingredients

1. 500g ground beef

5. 2 tbsp cooking oil
6. 2 cups chopped greens, (spinach, kale, swiss chard, arugula, napa cabbage, etc)
7. 2 cups water
