Tagliatelle Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Meats

   Stir in the minced garlic, ground beef, and ground pork. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

3. 3

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

   Add the crushed tomatoes, milk, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Finish the Sauce

   Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped basil and remove from heat.

6. 6

   Cook Tagliatelle

   While the sauce is simmering, cook the tagliatelle in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

7. 7

   Serve
