Removing oil bubbles from bolognese sauce
I am making bolognese for dinner tonight. In the past I have had trouble with oil in the sauce giving it a not very nice oily texture. I tried to limit the amount of oil I used, but I still have oil bubbles on the surface of the sauce.
Is there an easy way to remove the excess oil from the sauce?
For the future how do I prevent the excess?
my recipe is:
teaspoon garlic paste
250gm lean beef mince
teaspoon of peanut oil
handful chopped onion
tin crushed tomato's
one tub of tomato paste
mixed herbs, salt and pepper to taste
brown onions, garlic and mince
add crushed tomato's; fill can with water add to sauce
add salt, pepper and herbs
simmer for a few hours stirring occasionally
add tomato paste
stir and simmer for at least 30 mins
serve with preferred pasta
I eventually tried to soak up as much as possible with some paper towel. But I hope there is a better solution.

There is only one significant source of fat in the recipe that you have shared: the ground (or minced) meat. The single teaspoon of oil is a fairly trivial amount.
You might wish to drain the ground meat after browning and prior to continuing with the recipe to minimize the amount of fat that ends up in the final sauce.

Put in a tall jug in fridge for 1 hour then skim off fat. Then boil it up again. Let it cool down and the oil will rise to the top and you can scoop it off, or ideally refrigerate overnight and it will solidify to make the scooping easier!

Perhaps the most obvious solution is to spoon that fat right out of there! Towards the end of the cooking process the fat will often gather at the top of your dish. You can also periodically use a spoon or ladle to gently spoon out this oil and discard it. Use the ice-cube trick.How do you fix oily pasta sauce?
Like maybe a couple tablespoons milk and maybe a half teaspoon cornstarch.
