Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini or rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Bolognese Sauce

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Meat

    Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Season

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Make it Creamy

    Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the Bolo Rosa hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
