Bolognese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Meat

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and pork. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Stir in the minced garlic, followed by the crushed canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pasta

    While the sauce is simmering, cook the rigatoni in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked rigatoni with the Bolognese sauce until well coated. Serve topped with ricotta cheese and fresh basil.
