Now that we all work from home, we are more often in a position to make stew. what a treat! The Healthy Dutchies shared a recipe with us. Put the stew meat on the fire in the afternoon and then you just have to check every now and then that it is going well. Then the cooking is done and you can enjoy the delicious-smelling food while you work. Isn't that nice?

1. Cut the carrots into small bite-sized cubes, the mushrooms into quarters or slices. Clean the celery and preferably grate it, or cut it really finely. Also chop the onion and garlic very finely.
2. You can cut the meat a little coarsely, this does not need to be very fine. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic briefly, then add the celery and carrots. Fry for 3-5 minutes on medium heat. Then briefly fry the meat with them so that most of the meat is well seared on all sides. Fire goes low now. Add the peeled tomatoes, tomato puree, milk and Italian herbs and stir. Let this simmer for at least 3 hours, longer is even better, so that the meat cooks well and tender. If it cooks a bit drier you can add a little water.
3. Fifteen minutes before eating, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Then add the mushrooms to the sauce last. You can also choose to cook the spinach through it, but you can also eat this raw, if washed clean.

Tip:
If you have leftover sauce, you can also eat this the next day with a whole-wheat sandwich or wrap.
