Pasta Bolognese (agf) Recipe

Pasta Bolognese Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the diced pancetta and cook until it begins to crisp, about 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the ground veal and ground pork, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.

6. 6

   Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. 7

   Cook the Pasta

   While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

8. 8

   Once cooked, drain the fettuccine and reserve a cup of pasta water.

9. 9

   Combine and Serve

   Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
