Bolognese Sauce Ingredients

Method

Bolognese Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add ground beef and pork to the pot. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in crushed tomatoes and red wine. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Milk and Seasonings

    Add milk, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Finish with Butter and Herbs

    Stir in truffle mushroom butter, chopped basil, and parsley. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
