Equipment
- Bowl
- Pan
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 300 g flour
- 2 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp yeast
- 240 ml lukewarm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium onion, diced
- 1 small carrot, chopped
- 225 g ground beef
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 60 ml red wine
- 120 ml tomato sauce
- to taste salt & pepper
- 170 g cooked spaghetti noodles
- to taste parsley, chopped
- 1 egg
- to taste grated parmesan
- 3 mozzarella balls
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the dough by mixing the flour, sugar, yeast, lukewarm water, salt, and oil. Form a dough ball, place in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and leave in a warm place for one hour.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti noodles in a pot of boiling water, drain, and set aside.
- Fry the garlic, onion, and carrot in a pan with some olive oil, stir in the ground beef until browned, and then add the tomato paste. Add the red wine and tomato sauce to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the spaghetti noodles and chopped parsley.
- Slice the top of each mozzarella ball to form a "lid." Create a hollow in each ball with a knife, scoop out the inside in one piece, and attach to a fork. Swirl the fork in the spaghetti bolognese, place the portion of noodles and cheese inside the mozzarella ball, and close the "lid."
- Divide the yeast dough into three pieces. Roll out the dough, place a closed pasta-stuffed mozzarella ball in the middle, and seal the dough ball. Repeat with the other two mozzarella balls. Brush each dough ball with an egg wash, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and cook for 15 minutes.
