HOW TO MAKE BOLOGNESE SAUCE



How to Make Bolognese Sauce image

This Bolognese sauce is dedicated to the late great Marcella Hazan. She was considered the Julia Child of Italian food, and at a time when most Americans thought 'Bolognese' was spaghetti sauce with chunks of hamburger, Marcella taught us just how magnificent this meat sauce could be. I like to toss it with some mezzi rigatoni and serve it with a little grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley.

Time 3h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely diced onion
½ cup finely diced celery
½ cup finely diced carrot
1 pinch salt
1 ½ pounds ground beef
salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups 2% milk
2 cups white wine
1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
2 cups water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Melt butter with olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook onion, celery, and carrot with pinch of salt until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir ground beef into vegetables and cook, stirring constantly until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Season meat mixture with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Pour milk into ground beef mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until most of the milk has evaporated and bottom of pan is still slightly saucy, about 5 minutes.
  • Raise heat to medium high and pour white wine into ground beef mixture; cook and stir until white wine has mostly evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
  • Pour tomatoes with juice into a large mixing bowl and crush them with your fingers until they resemble a slightly chunky sauce. Pour tomatoes into sauce; fill can with 2 cups water and add to sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until mixture cooks down into a thick sauce, at least 3 hours but preferably 4 to 6 hours. Skim fat from top of sauce if desired. If sauce is too thick or too hot on the bottom, add a little more water. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced pancetta
1 cup minced celery
2/3 cup minced carrot
1/2 cup minced onion
1 lb ground beef chuck
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup milk
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups canned plum tomatoes, chopped with liquid
1 lb pasta
freshly grated parmesan cheese-optional garnish

Steps:

  • In a 3 quart saucepan heat oil and butter. Add pancetta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until most of the fat has be rendered. Then add carrots, celery, and onions and saute for 3 minutes. Now add the beef, salt and pepper to taste and cook until the beef is no longer pink. Add the milk and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the milk is completely evaporated. Add wine and simmer until evaporated.
  • Finally, add the tomatoes and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours partially covered. It's important to reduce as slowly as possible. If sauce becomes dry, add 1/2 cup water whenever necessary. When almost ready to serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until it is tender but still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, pat dry and return to the pot. Add your sauce to the past and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve immediately. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and good quality olive oil.
  • Brown the meat well: This will add depth of flavor to the sauce. Be patient and let the meat brown slowly over medium heat.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
  • Add a splash of red wine: This will add a nice depth of flavor to the sauce. Be sure to use a good quality red wine that you would enjoy drinking.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is simmered, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:
