bolognese ragu

This delicious Authentic Bolognese Sauce or Ragu alla Bolognese is made with fresh ingredients and cooked low and slow.

Authentic Bolognese Sauce

olive oil

small/medium carrot

celery

onion

beef (70-80%)

pork

dry red wine

tomato paste

tomato puree (passata)

salt

pepper

bay leaves

milk (2 % or whole milk)

Cut the carrot, celery and onion very fine (must not too much that it becomes pulpy when cooked).

In a medium to large heavy pot add the olive oil and chopped vegetables, cook covered on low heat (stirring occasionally) until onion is transparent.

Increase the heat to medium and add the ground beef and pork. Stirring as the meat is cooking to break up the pieces. Once the meat has browned turned the heat up to high and add the wine.

Cook until the alcohol has evaporated (about 20-30 seconds) and the liquid has evaporated. Decrease the heat to medium/low and add the tomato paste, puree, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Gradually decrease the heat to the lowest setting cover and let simmer for three hours (the mixture should not boil). Stir occasionally.

After the time has passed remove the bay leaf and add the milk, heat thoroughly for a couple of minutes. Serve over cooked pasta. Enjoy!

Cut the carrot, celery and onion very fine (but not too much that it becomes pulpy when cooked).

Fabulous! Perfectly authentic taste and texture / consistency of a wonderful Italian sauce. Thank you for sharing step-by-step to make sure the recipe is done correctly. This recipe is a keeper.

I added some mushrooms because I didn’t want them to go to waste. Otherwise, exactly as written.
