Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sofrito

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Meats

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

   Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Simmer the Sauce

   Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavors develop.

5. 5

   Cook Spaghetti

   While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

6. 6

   Combine and Serve

   Once the sauce is ready, combine it with the cooked spaghetti. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
