  • Let cook for approximately 20 minutes.
  • Add crushed tomatoes and bring heat to a boil.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, return to simmer.
  • Let sauce simmer (very slowly) partially covered for about 2 to 4 hours (the longer the better), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh vegetables, and high-quality ground beef.
  • Don't skimp on the time: Bolognese sauce is a slow-cooked dish that takes time to develop its flavor. Simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful the sauce will be. Common vegetables used in Bolognese sauce include onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and tomatoes.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add depth of flavor to the sauce. Common herbs used in Bolognese sauce include basil, oregano, and thyme. Common spices used in Bolognese sauce include salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Use a good quality red wine: Red wine adds richness and flavor to the sauce. Choose a dry red wine, such as a Chianti or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: Bolognese sauce is traditionally served over tagliatelle or spaghetti, but you can use any type of pasta that you like.
