1-tablespoon olive oil

1-cup finely chopped onion

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1-pound lean ground beef

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

2 cups tomato sauce

1 tablespoon sugar

1 pound cooked fettucine (or your choice of pasta)

Shredded or grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Fresh basil or parsley (optional)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat, if necessary.

Add the Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until the dried herbs are fragrant.

Add the tomato sauce and sugar and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover. Simmer for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.

When ready to serve, adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the pasta or other starch to individual plates and top with the Bolognese sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of cheese, fresh herbs, and crushed red pepper flakes.

“ Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Learning to forgive quickly and completely is one of the most important keys to maintaining joy in our lives. Because God has forgiven us, He expects us to forgive others for their injustices against us.

Just as we can receive forgiveness from God and confidently trust that He is not angry with us, we can forgive others and not be angry with them. Anger and unforgiveness will quickly dilute your joy. It is impossible to be bitter and better at the same time.

Learning to be forgiving and merciful toward the faults of others is a sign of growing spiritual maturity – it is being obedient to God’s Word. When we obey God, especially when it is difficult to so, He will always reward us with peace and joy.

Holding on to bitterness or unforgiveness toward someone does not hurt them – it only hurts you. Allow God to be your vindicator.

YOU CAN BE BITTER OR YOU CAN BE BETTER!
