Here is how to make this bolognese pizza. Step 1: Prepare the oven. Start by placing your pizza stone on a rack inside the lower third of your oven while the oven is still cold. Preheat the oven to 550°F. Once the oven has reached temperature, allow the pizza stone to preheat for another 30 minutes or so.
Break up the mince with a wooden spoon and cook until brown. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, the tin of tomatoes, 1/4 cup of red wine, dried thyme and the chilli flakes and fish sauce if you’re using them. Stir, then turn the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, until it’s lovely and thick. Cook the rice.
STEP 1: Sauté the onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms in heated oil for about 3-4 minutes. Add all the spices + garlic and sauté a bit longer around 1 minute. STEP 2: Add to the pot the wine, tomatoes, lentils, broth, and bay leaf. Stir well.
Stir in the herbs and parmesan rind. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pan. Simmer the bolognese sauce, stirring occasionally, for 60 minutes. Just before the sauce is ready, cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Reserve 2/3 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
