Have you ever cooked minced beef (in bolognese sauce/beef chilli/shepherd’s pie filling) and after long hours of cooking, the beef turns dry, hard and rubbery? Here is the trick: marinate the beef with solution of water and baking soda and your minced beef will stay tender even after long hours of cooking.

Just a simple tomato based pasta sauce but I used overripe cherries tomatoes, added shredded carrots and zucchini.
