Bolognese loaded with vegetables. The stove does the majority of the work for this dish. You can even make it a day ahead, because it tastes twice as good the following day!
1. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add in ground beef, breaking apart with spoon while cooking, until no longer red.
3. Season with additional salt and pepper, then add crushed tomatoes, chicken stock and fresh herbs. Bring to a simmer then cook over low heat for 2 hours, covered with a lid.
4. Serve with your favorite pasta, parmesan cheese and additional fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
