It must be added a little at a time, at the end. The quantity varies according to the quantity of meat used. Add a little at a time and mix the meat well, until the milk is completely absorbed by the sauce. Vegetables and meat need to brown well on all sides, for this reason you need a large pan with a thick bottom which spreads the heat evenly.
Earthenware pots are also perfect. And as everyone knows, good things come to those who wait. La Cucina Italiana edition:. Menu Authentic Italian Cooking since the s Search. Add the sauce and stir, until tongs, to evenly distribute the sauce and coat the pasta with it.
Divide between warm bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and more Parmigiano-Reggiano, to taste. Let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. Divide the Bolognese Sauce into portions and store in airtight containers or glass jars.

The recipe makes a generous 12 servings. A serving of pasta is generally considered to represent 2 oz of dry pasta. My family eats larger portions of pasta for the main course though, we go for 2. So it all depends on your usual serving size, but you can definitely stretch our that wonderful Bolognese to serve a whole gang of pasta lovers!
Saturday afternoon, a glass of wine in my hand and music playing.. Much love from England and thank you for your travels and recipes! What a lovely message! Thank you so much for taking a minute to write it.
So glad my Bolognese still brings as much joy in your life as it does in mine! Had this for dinner with the family tonight. Still as delicious and comforting as ever! I discovered this sauce 10 years ago and I am still making it : I just love it.
Have you ever tried guanciale instead of pancetta? If I can find guanciale, I will try to make it with it. But it would for sure yield an amazing flavor to this bolognese, too. If you ever try it, please report back!! I have made this several times now. It is the best of at least 10 bolognese sauces I have tried.
I use whatever leftover wine I have on hand, even a couple of times using red and white. The last several times, I dumped it into a slow cooker and then cooked it on low for hours. It makes for the perfect consistency called for in the recipe. Thanks so much for your comment Lori! Finishing the sauce in the slow cooker is so effortless!
The reward is then even more delicious :. One question — can I use Passata in place of crushed tomatoes?
Best bolognese sauce ever! Thank you so much xx. Maybe you could try entering details of the recipe in an online calculator and see if you can get the info you need?
I searched for an authentic Bolognese sauce recipe because my wife and I went to Italy in October We had pasta at a Roman outdoor restaurant. I had the Bolognese with fresh pasta and my. Wife had the Gnocchi. I needed to try to replicate it. So I made your recipe a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for this recipe! I was able to freeze 2 containers of the sauce and had 1 tonight with fresh linguini.
It was wonderful. Thanks again. Thank you for sharing your Bolognese story! This will be my weekend project…I was wondering if I could put the sauce in a degree oven for a few hours rather than cooking on the stove top? I would definitely try this method using the slow cooker ratios. Also, I would still take it out of the oven once in a while to stir it so the sauce cooks evenly. Let me know how it goes if you do try it! I did a search for bolognese sauce a while back, and read over a half dozen of the results.
Yours sounded the best of them all, and I decided to try it first. The order of ingredients, little tips you gave about browning the meat, great photos, and every little aspect have made this my go-to bolognese sauce. Marie- this has been my go-to bolognese since I happily discovered your recipe last year.
Absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. To answer a lot of questions, yes you can change this and that and it still is great. The must is the caramelization and the process. I live in Mexico and we have beautiful fresh vine ripened Roma tomatoes and good canned tomatoes are hard to come by. I poach, peel, seed and chop the tomatoes. The pancetta, quality pasta and parm cheese makes it better. Simple instructions, developed complex-tasting sauce especially with the whole milk and caramelized bottom scrapings that meld into the rich, tangy and smooth flavor of the San Marzano tomato sauce.
I add fresh crimini or white mushrooms and handfuls of baby spinach into the sauce, about 20 minutes before serving. This is proof that patience and time is well worth the end result. I like the idea of boosting the nutritional value of the sauce by adding mushrooms or spinach! Thanks for sharing your tip! I have just made your sauce for the second time. I adapted a little in that I cooked the vegetables first then added the pancetta.
I then put this batch into a slow cooker. I then cooked the meat and browned it. My reasoning was that it the first time I tried to cook all at once there was too much steam from the veg to brown the meat. I then added the other ingredients to the meat cooked it off and mixed them together with veg in the slow cooker adding a little nutmeg.
I did this in the evening and left on low — even more delicious than the first time! Chris, I think the reasoning for cooking the meat with the vegetables is go give the meat more flavor. But, whatever works! Hello I want to say thank You as well this is one of the best no longest recipes I have ever made.
This recipe is wonderful! Thank you for sharing! I was on the hunt for an authentic bologonase recipe after I returned from two weeks in Italy. Food for thought! But never ate it again…until this recipe…WOW!!! So good and worth the fine mincing and long cooking. Thanks so much for the great instructions…Compared to what I first tasted, this recipe is 1st class. This recipe is to die for! So glad you posted this, thank you!
I have made it a couple of times now and everyone loves it. This sauce is incredible! Thank you for such a great recipe. I went to Bologna with my partner a couple of years ago and had the most amazing Bolognese at this little hole in the wall… I wanted to learn how to replicate it and I think your recipe is the closest I have tasted… It is delicious…so thank you!
Happy you liked it Anemone! Making a recipe that brings memories from a trip back home is precious, I think. I have used this recipe exactly as written about a half dozen times since finding it about 18 months ago. I have traveled extensively in the North of Italy and in particular the Bologna, Parma and Modena area. Whenever I make it with a hearty home made pasta garnished with real Parmagiano Reggiano, people literally gasp followed by the obligatory OMGs! I have never ever made bolognese any other way since, it is unbelievably magnificent!
Tonight however, after not making this dish for quite a while, my memory went blank…when do I add the meat? What veges again? So I googled Authentic Bolognese Sauce and thankfully found your recipe again. Why am I remembering a bolognse sauce containing several cuts of meat, steak,pot roast, meat balls,ribs, pork,braised then tomatoes added and cooked.
Meat placed in dishes, pasta separate with gravy on top. What sm I think ink?. Thank You,. The recipe I am sharing is based on the traditional sauce from Bologna. It is indeed a super sauce. Four thumbs up! Made a half-sized batch yesterday to try it out. Ended up going with the bacon, because I had it in the house.
The end result was amazing. We have made this recipe many times over, and each time we marvel at how good it really is. Its a whole world of a difference to make a bolognese in this way. However: i think you should make it more clear that the soffritto is NOT made together with the minced meat. Its flavor would never survive 20 minutes of meat roasting if its possbile at all to roast it with so many vegetables. The roasted meat clearly contains no vegetables at all.
The soffritto is added to the meat after the white whine has been added and cooked for a moment. Also: normally the soffritto takes a little bit longer than minutes. Its more about 30 minutes. This makes the sauce much smoother. Everything else in the recipe is just perfect.
Especially the description about roasting the minced meat is very good and important. Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback! Thank you! What can I replace it with? Hello Ainie! Yes of course, you can omit wine. You need a liquid to deglaze the pan after caramelizing the meat and the veggies. I think beef or vegetable broth would both worth well, they would allow you to catch all those golden bit while adding some flavor.
Try it out and report back to let me know if you liked the sauce! Yes it was delicious! But all is well it still turned out good and there were second helpings taken ;D Thanks so much Marie! Just making another batch of your fantastic Bolognese Ragu — been cooking down slow for 12 hours now. BRAVO once again!!! This is my favourite bolognese recipe! Just wondering if when I double the amounts i will need to brown the meat in two batches? Just for sake of getting the caramelisation.
What do you think? Ideally, most of the meat and veggies must come into contact with the bottom of the pot for proper caramelization. Absolutely delicious!! Followed directions exactly after that!!! I wanted to try something completely different.
So glad I did!! I did use half ground beef half ground pork. Ok so my have been making this gravy for a few years now and everyone I make it for loves it. Storing the sauce for a day or two allows flavors to develop even more.
Once your sauce is done, refrigerate it in an airtight container. When ready to serve, pour the sauce back in a saucepan and reheat over low heat. Hello Janis! A slow cooker needs to be covered to do a good job otherwise it cannot reach the right heat. My worry would be that the sauce remains too watery by the end of the cooking process. You can add some of the pasta water to it after you have cooked the pasta.
Put the sauce in the pasta pan add the pasta then add a little of the saved water a little at a time until you get the right consistency. Hello, I am Paul, I was born and I live Vignola small town between Modena and Bologna in Italy, The sauce here is prepared as follows: ingredients people 1 golden onion, 1 carrot, 2 stalks celery, chopped very fine.
Adding milk sounded absoulutely bizzare at first, but today I tried anyway. You could try it sometime :. Sooo happy i found this recipe! Thank you so much! My friends, husband and i absolutely love this receipe…. A great recipe. I pureed and food processed the onion, celery, and carrots and then added it to cook with the pancetta.
My favorite recipe by far. Did you leave the cover off for most of the cooking? That will help. Also, the pasta will soak up some of it. I rarely have that problem. I agree with the others about the fat. Unless it seems like a lot of fat I would just mix it in. Also, going to eat it tomorrow night for dinner and made it in my le creuset.
How do I put in fridge? Wait for it to cool in the le creuset and then transfer to another bowl for storing in fridge? As for the fat, it will coagulate on top of the sauce when you refrigerate it, so you can easily scoop it off before reheating the sauce if you want I use extra lean meat so I leave all the fat in as it mainly comes from the added oil, butter and cheese.
The friends I had over asked for the recipe it impressed that much. Will be the only way I make bolognese from now on. Thank you for this fantastic recipe :. I made it 2 times now, the first time with the beef stock and the second time without. The beef stock added a weird taste to it even after 4 hours of simmer. Should i try another brand or add more whine maybe? Happy the sauce was so amazingly successful with your Italian friends! Thanks again!!!! Thanks again for taking the time to leave a note, your enthusiasm is infectious :.
Being an Italian food enthusiast, I absolutely love this recipe. It is the best tasting bolognese sauce recipe I have ever discovered — hands down! I have referred to it at least a dozen times. I always have a bottle of red on hand to drink only, use a dry white for the sauce , some music in the background and I enjoy every single step of the way.
Adding the meat gradually allows its liquid to evaporate…. You want your meat to caramelize and even become crispy in spots…You want golden bits of meat to stick to the bottom of your pan, which will be deglazed later. Then after it is caramelized then deglaze with a dry white wine dry white wine … not sweet.
Make sure you reduce it right down until there is caramelization see picture in the recipe above. I know you might not like this but instead of using a dry white wine I opted for Sweet Marsala wine I have made it with the dry also and it turned out really, really good. I use this recipe for a base, a place to work from to make a good, solid Bolognese. You can add or not add what you personally like. I like to add fresh parsley because I like green colors. I Use Marsala and other use white.
The key is the process in which you treat the meat, veggies, and simmer the sauce. So happy you love the recipe as much as I do Simon! Excellent recipe!
Yours is one recipe I do not alter, it is so darn good. Hi, I just made this and it tastes delicious, but the end result was not with as much sauce as the pic you posted. Any sauce that was there was quite thin and not creamy, and it looks like way too much meat. I followed all the portions and measurements exactly. Any idea what might have gone wrong? Thanks heaps! Did you use whole milk? I just want to say how delicious this recipe was!
So much more taste dimensions with the beef mince remaining the star. I think the secret is cooking the meat until it caramelizes. Thank you for that tip! Thank you for sharing it! Perfect fix for missing Italy after our week trip :. I love this sauce!!
I used the San Marzano tomatoes and still added a pinch or two of brown sugar in the end. Traveled about 2 hours away and found them in a very small Italian deli.
Thank you for this recipe!! They really do taste much better than regular canned tomatoes. But you can also order San Marzano tomatoes online!
Also, I know the San Marzano tomatoes are supposed to be the best but I have found them too sweet…and they are quite expensive. Just my opinion. Thanks :. I replied that you can do it in two hours but it is really better to keep it going.
I agree with Marie…change your plans and have it tomorrow. I recommend you to change your dinner plans and serve the sauce tomorrow instead! This is a really delicious recipe. But lo and behold; they did! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! This is not considered a tomato sauce but a meat sauce. We Americans…not me…think everything has to be smothered in sauce, the Italians do not.
They want to taste the pasta or whatever the sauce is covering. Just how much butter and parm reg do you add for serving? Is that right? You got the maths right! You can of course skip the addition of butter and additional cheese, but it does make a delicious difference. Bolognese is definitely a rich sauce and you should enjoy it for what it is. You can always eat salad tomorrow! Believe me. The 2nd batch is cooking now. Thanks for your feedback! This is a fantastic recipe.
This is a wonderful recipe! I never follow recipes exactly, and as much as I wanted to be faithful, I forgot that I was out of San Marzano canned tomatoes. I substituted San Marzano brand tubed tomato paste for the tomatoes and upped the wine and milk by a quarter cup. I was trying to replicate a bolognese we just had in Florence and this, my husband declared, was better!
Sugar is perhaps more divisive still. Grossi was brought up not adding sweeteners, arguing that if you cook the onions down gently and slowly enough, they'll provide the natural sweetness. That said, Orr will use a little maple syrup if the tomatoes are more bitter than he'd like.

He hastens to add that you should only add sugar at the end after the tomatoes have completely cooked down, otherwise you can run the risk of an unbalanced sauce. Then, of course, there's the meat. Traditionally for Bolognese, the recipe states beef mince and pancetta. A classic Bolognese is a beautifully rich meat ragu that makes every heart melt. This week's top Food TV picks. SBS On Demand.
