     Title: Spicy, Creamy Weeknight Bolognese
Categories: Beef, Pasta, Vegetables, Dairy
     Yield: 5 servings

          Salt & black pepper
     1 lb Ground chuck (80%-20%)
     1 lg Onion; fine chopped
     2    Carrots; peeled, fine
          - chopped
     2 tb Red curry paste
    15 oz Can tomato sauce
     1 lb Short, curled pasta, such as
          - pipettes
     1 c  Heavy cream

 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

 Meanwhile, heat a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over
 high until very hot. Add the beef, and smush and spread
 in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then
 cook, stirring, to break into tiny bits and cook
 through, 4 to 5 minutes.

 Push the meat to one side, and add the onion and carrots
 to the beef fat on the other side. Sprinkle with salt
 and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally with the
 beef, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

 Add the curry paste, 2 tablespoons for a mild spiciness
 and 3 for more heat, and stir until darkened in color, 2
 to 3 minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce, then fill the
 can a third of the way up with water to swish out the
 rest of the sauce into the pot. Stir, bring to a simmer,
 then reduce the heat to low and simmer while the pasta
 cooks.

 Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente. Save
 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and add
 to the simmering sauce.

 Stir the cream into the sauced pasta, taste and season
 with salt and pepper. For a thinner sauce, stir in a bit
 of the pasta water. Serve hot.
