Bolognese Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 500g (1 lb) ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
- 150ml (½ cup) red wine
- 400g (14 oz) canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 100ml (¼ cup) milk (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions:
Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Cook the Meat: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, for about 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the Wine: Add the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until it reduces a little.
Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.
Add Milk (Optional): If using, stir in the milk for a creamier texture, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve: Serve the Bolognese sauce over cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
