Tagliatelle Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sauce

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

2. 2

   Cook the Meat

   Add the ground beef and ground pork to the saucepan. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

3. 3

   Add Wine and Tomatoes

   Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until it reduces slightly. Then, stir in the crushed tomatoes, milk, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Simmer the Sauce

   Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a richer flavor, simmer for up to 2 hours.

5. 5

   Cook the Tagliatelle

   While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

6. 6

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the cooked tagliatelle to the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the tagliatelle bolognese hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
