Rigatoni Bolognese

Italian sausage (casings removed)

Olive oil

yellow onion, finely diced

carrot,

celery,

garlic,

pancetta, small-diced (or thick-cut bacon)

red wine (plus more as needed)

bay leaves

Salt and pepper

½ cup whole milk (plus more to taste)

cheese

In a large 6-quart pot or Dutch oven, cook and brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up, for about 6 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside. Note: If your pot is not large enough, cook in batches. If it starts to release too much moisture, absorb it excess with paper towel.

To the same pot (don’t wipe it clean), add a few drizzles of olive oil and cook the finely diced onions, carrots, and celery over medium-heat for about 6-8 minutes until softened, scraping the brown bits from the pot with a wooden spoon. If the brown bits are burning too fast, add a splash of wine to deglaze.

Add the garlic, pancetta, and thyme and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add the 1 cup of red wine, scraping any leftover brown bits. Simmer it down until the wine is about half reduced.

Add the canned crushed tomatoes and bay leaves. Return the cooked meat and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer over low heat for 30-35 minutes, with the lid partially covered.

Meanwhile, cook the rigatoni in generously salted water according to package directions. Reserve some pasta water for later just in case. Drain and set aside.

Once the bolognese sauce is done, finish with ½ cup whole milk or to taste. Toss the cooked rigatoni into bolognese sauce until evenly combined. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed.

Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!

Rigatoni bolognese is a simple, yet elegant dish made with homemade bolognese sauce, rigatoni, fresh herbs, and a dollop of ricotta or mascarpone cheese.

Rigatoni Bolognese Recipe

rigatoni (pappardelle, gnocchi

85% beef

sweet Italian sausage

San Marzano Tomatoes (juices included)

broth

celery (finely diced)

carrot (finely diced)

dry white wine

basil leaves (chopped)

garlic (minced)

butter

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Fresh grated parmesan cheese (for topping)

Olive oil (drizzle)

Melt butter over medium-low heat in a large pan or Dutch oven. Add garlic and onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in celery and carrots, simmering for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Increase heat to medium and add ground beef/sausage. Season all over with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and no longer pink. About 5 minutes. Use the tip of a wooden spoon to break up the beef and pork into the smallest chunks possible.

Add the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer until evaporated/mixture is dry, about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes, crushing with a wooden spoon/spatula into smaller chunks. Add milk, beef broth, and chopped basil. Mix until incorporated and reduce heat to low.

Let simmer on the lowest heat setting so the sauce is just simmering. Simmer for 2-3 hours, uncovered, stirring every 30 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. You can use a spoon to skim some of the fat off the top if desired but I recommend you leave it. Stir to mix the fat eith the sauce. Adjust with salt if needed. The sauce is ready when you can run a spoon through it and the bottom remains clean. If it collapses on itself or pools with liquid, simmer longer.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook al dente. Strain, reserving pasta water. Add pasta and sauce to a large bowl or separate pan on low heat with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss to mix until pasta is completely coated and slightly creamy. Plate topped with fresh basil and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Excellent and will double the next time to freeze.  This is authentic and a definite keeper!  Thank you so much for sharing.
