There is nothing like a good old fashioned “bolo” sauce to bring a smile to everyone’s face … it is a family favourite with “big” and “little” kids alike!
I like my sauce chunky, so I find that by initially steaming the meat in the Veroma, I am able to control the size of “chunks” that I have. Once the meat has finished it’s initial cook, then you can decide if you wish to break it up further before adding it to the cooking liquid for the final step of cooking the meat and sauce together.
Once the sauce is finished place it into a Thermoserver to stay hot, then lightly rinse out the ™ bowl and add the water, oil and salt to cook your pasta as described in your Thermomix cookbook. Drain and serve with the sauce.
Or you may wish to prepare your sauce in advance and keep it in the fridge where it will sit happily for a couple of days … a very good “do ahead” recipe to prepare on the weekend for a mid week meal.

This is the perfect blog for anybody who wants to
understand this topic. You understand a whole lot its almost
tough to argue with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa).
You definitely put a new spin on a subject that has been discussed
for decades. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
Howdy! I understand this is certainly kinda off topic nevertheless
i was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had
problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for an additional platform.
I would be fantastic in the event you could point me
in the direction of an excellent platform.
Hi … thanks so much for touching base … to be honest I am using the platform that Mat Hat Media organised for me when establishing the site, which I am pretty sure is WordPress … I am not sure if you are using help to get your blog set up, but I found trying to do it myself was overwhelming from lack of knowledge, and since then I have been so happy to have had the right support because I haven’t had any issues with “hackers” etc. They installed the right “plugins” to stop problems before they started. Wish I could give you more info but not sure what else I can offer except to get proper technical assistance … hope that helps xo Gina
