WHAT IS BOLOGNESE

Bolognese Sauce is an rich “meat tomato sauce” that was perfected originally by the Italians.

It is made with onions, garlic, beef (hamburger) or pork, pureed tomatoes, red wine or beef broth, parmesan cheese and whole milk which makes for an delicious Bolognese sauce. 

I omitted the celery and carrots. Which is used in Authentic Bolognese, however something I do not prefer in mine.

Some recipes call for the addition of chopped carrots or celery. Personally I do not use it! And is always served over pasta.

If you love Italian food just as much as me, then perhaps you would love to learn take some ‘cooking classes in Rome‘. But in the meanwhile here is another great dish you would enjoy for Four Cheese Gnocchi.

HOW LONG WILL BOLOGNESE LAST IN THE FRIDGE

Bolognese is actually Ragu and means any meat sauce cooked over low heat for hours on the stovetop. Ragu has many ingredients in it and varies from region to region in Italy.
