For the Bolognese, peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onion and garlic in it until transparent. Add the minced meat and fry until crumbly for about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato paste and sauté briefly. Add the tomatoes and juice, chop the tomatoes a little. Bring everything to the boil and simmer at low heat for about 15 minutes.
For the dumplings, form about 16 small dumplings from the dumpling dough with moistened hands. Put them into plenty of boiling salt water and let them simmer for about 15 minutes until they float on the surface.
Season Bolognese sauce with salt, pepper and sugar. Wash the basil, shake dry, pluck and chop finely. Stir into the Bolognese sauce. Lift the dumplings out of the water and serve with the sauce.
A mixed salad tastes good with it.
