Ragù alla Bolognese

sausage

red pepper flakes

chicken broth

oz crushed tomatoes

tomato paste

salt

black pepper

lb pasta (small noodle

nutmeg

basil

heavy cream

parmesan cheese

pasta water (to make the pasta more saucy at the end)

Cook meat

Heat a 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and Italian sausage. Cook the meat until no longer pink, crumbling it up as you go. Once cooked, drain any excess grease.

Add seasoning

Stir in the garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute. 

Deglaze

Add the chicken broth to the skillet to deglaze the pan, stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until the broth has reduced by half.

Simmer

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. 

Cook pasta

While that’s simmering, cook the pasta to al dente.

Simmer, again

After the sauce has simmered for 10 minutes stir in the nutmeg, fresh basil, cream, and parmesan. Simmer for another 10 minutes. 

Add pasta to sauce

Drain the pasta and reserve ½ cup of the pasta water to use at the end to make the sauce more saucy (if needs be). Add the pasta to the sauce mixing to combine. If you need the sauce to be more saucy, add a splash of reserved pasta water. 

Serve warm with a garnish of fresh basil and parmesan.

A rich, slow-simmered Classic Bolognese sauce perfect for Sunday supper—deeply flavorful, soulful, and worth the wait. This recipe yields 5 ½-6 cups of bolognese sauce and serves 6 people with 1 lb of pasta. 

Best Pasta Bolognese Recipe

onion, diced

celery, small diced

carrots, peeled, small diced

garlic cloves, roughly chopped

beef

salt, more to taste

milk

dry white wine

(1 ½ cups) of San Marzano tomatoes, chopped, with all the juices.

chicken stock

lb pasta (papparadelle

Granish: Fresh basil parsley

Cook the veggies

. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent and fragrant. Add the garlic, celery, and carrots and cook until softened. Scoop this aside.

Brown the meat

Break the ground meat apart with a fork, then add it to the pan. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper, oregano, chili flakes, and nutmeg, searing until the meat browns- this will create umami. Once browned, add the veggies back in. 

Cook off the milk

Add a cup of milk and stir, let the milk bubble all away. Cook off the wine. Add the tomato paste and white wine, and cook until mostly evaporated.

Long slow simmer

  Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer very gently (tiny bubbles) uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, adding more chicken broth if needed to loosen the mixture. 

Season. Stir in 1/4 cup pecorino cheese. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and chili flakes.  Ultimately, it should be a thick, rich, flavorful sauce.

Combine

Toss with the cooked, drained pasta, reserving a little pasta water to loosen if necessary. Stir in the remaining grated pecorino cheese and top with fresh herbs.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was so delicious! I made it with finely diced mushrooms instead of meat and omitted the milk. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for another winner!

I made this for dinner the other night. It was very tasty! It was my first time making a bolognese sauce, and it was worth all the effort and time it took. It tasted even better the second day. I’m wishing I still had more leftover and thinking about making another batch. 🙂 Thanks for another delicious recipe!

Best bolognese ever....italy all the way.

So tasty! I made double so I could freeze a couple of portions for easy nights in the future. Also added a couple of tins of 4 bean mix for added healthiness. Big fan of your delicious recipes! xxx
