Rigatoni Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the sauce

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

   Cook the meat

   Add the ground veal, ground pork, and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Add liquids

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes until it reduces slightly.

4. 4

   Add tomatoes and milk

   Add the crushed tomatoes and milk to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Cook the rigatoni

   While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

6. 6

   Combine and serve

   Once the sauce is ready, toss the cooked rigatoni with the sauce until well coated. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and slices of garlic baguette on the side.
