Fettuccine Alla Bolognese Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Make the Fettuccine

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

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

3. 3

   Cook the Meat

   Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

4. 4

   Add Liquids

   Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, milk, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Roll Out the Fettuccine

   After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Cut into fettuccine strips.

6. 6

   Cook the Fettuccine

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the hot fettuccine topped with the Bolognese sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
