Bison Bolognese Ingredients

Method

Bison Bolognese Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic finely.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bison

    In a large skillet, heat the beef tallow over medium heat. Add the ground bison and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Herbs

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cook Pasta

    While the sauce is simmering, cook the handkerchief pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  7. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Once the sauce has thickened, mix in the ricotta cheese until well combined. Serve over the cooked handkerchief pasta.
