Method
Bolognese Sauce Preparation
- 1
Cook the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 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
Brown the Meat
Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Add Wine and Tomatoes
Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Simmer the Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.
