🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
✅Ingredients
• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 large white onion, diced
• 1/4 cup finely diced carrot
• 1/4 cup finely diced celery
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 ounce can tomato paste
• 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup whole milk
✅Instructions
00:00:13 - Preparing ingredients for Classic Bolognese Sauce
1️⃣ 00:00:40 - In a large pot over medium heat, add in ground sausage and ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Brown 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
2️⃣ 00:01:05 - Add in onion, carrot, and celery and cook another 5 to 7 minutes until onions are soft and meat is cooked through.
3️⃣ 00:01:34 - Add in garlic and tomato paste and garlic and cook 2 minutes, until tomato paste starts to toast.
4️⃣ 00:01:46 - Pour in crushed tomatoes, white wine, beef broth, and milk. Stir in fresh basil, parsley, and oregano (if using) and season with salt and pepper. Herbs are optional for additional flavor, but not a part of traditional bolognese sauce.
5️⃣ 00:02:17 - Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 1 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Flavors will continue to develop the longer you allow the sauce to simmer, so simmer for up to 4 hours if time permits.
6️⃣ 00:03:04 - Taste and add more salt and pepper to suit personal taste preferences.

There is nothing that even compares to HOMEMADE Bolognese Sauce. My dad is Italian and ALWAYS brings me 6 large containers. I have to ration them because I only get to see him 1-2 times a year. They do luckily freeze amazingly.

[@alhuxley8795]

NIce video and recipe, but i saute my soffrito (carrot, onion and celery) in olive oil before adding my ground beef and Italian sausage.

[@anthonyvenedicto518]

Some great additions to this would be some marjoram, pancetta, and some ground veal. Btw. I highly recommend using whole peeled tomatoes and either mash them or blend them for the freshest possible flavor. Btw if u are looking for san Marzano tomatoes, they only come whole with NO Basil leaf. Anything other than whole is a counterfeit of this precious Italian tomato

[@davidk4682]

Amazing. Thank you.

[@GhaithBadri]

I just finished eating my plate (actually had 2 plates); followed this recipe and made a little adjustment of substituting the italian ground sausage meat with italian meatballs. I made the bolognese sauce (followed the recipe as is) and grilled the meatballs in the oven first before dropping them into the pot and let 'em all simmer to perfection. it was delish ... we all loved it. thanks for sharing the recipe !

[@jackdizzlee4212]

Well said! Def suscribing! I hate how some bolognese are watery! I love how thick n rich it is

[@Anonomush_oranges]

I prefer to bake my sauce in the Dutch oven at 300F with the lid cracked. That eliminates the need to keep stirring it. I learned that from my Italian grandmother.

[@soseN08]

Aren't we supposed to fry and caramelize these vegetables first?

[@davisnobrainus]

Doesnt the soffrito cook before the meat?

[@prabunusantara]

Yeayea ok traditional bolognais sauce we get it! Lol

[@garycampbell6517]

Nice recipe, i spoke to an Italian chef about making traditional bolognese sauce and he said it doesn’t have tomatoes in, the only tomato product you put in is paste, the liquid in the sauce is stock?? Anyone else heard this before

[@TABL3SIX]

Is there any reason why you did this diffently than the sauce for your lasagna recipe. I loved that one will have to try this.

[@Thestayathomechef]

I went much closer to the traditional official bolognese recipe with this one.

[@montyloads]

It may not be traditional ingredient but i gotta have mushroom in my bolognese sauce ❤

[@princed47130]

Would it be appropriate to add white wine to this? I don’t want to ruin it, but wondering if that would also help the flavor.

[@Thestayathomechef]

The recipe already calls for white wine.

[@princed47130]

The Stay At Home Chef oops! Sorry. I forgot that! You’re awesome sauce, btw!!

[@barbaraharacz1671]

Am making the sauce right now. Going to eat it tomorrow for a dinner party. Thanks for the recipe.

[@ThiaBaybee]

Can I leave out the wine?

[@zekegonzalez1845]

I just made this and it was a hit at home!!

[@martinborek6937]

Ich stecke Zwiebeln , Sellerie und Möhren zu gleichen Teilen in den Mixxer . Dadurch vergrößert sich deren Oberfläche und gibt viel mehr Geschmack ab , als größere Stücke . Außerdem spart man sich viel geschnippel und die Garzeit verkürtzt sich .

[@lisabullock9665]

I'm making this tomorrow. I can't wait. I'm soo excited to make this.

[@TheGodYouWishYouKnew]

Nutmeg is also a traditional ingredient.

it’s about acidic for me, how do i get rid of the acidity?

[@dimestoreharry3344]

A pinch of sugar .

[@asadculer3625]

is there a non alcoholic substitution for wine

[@gordonbartlett1921]

Please understand that when wine cooks down in a recipe, the alcohol evaporates out, leaving only its non-alcoholic essence. Therefore, you need have no concern about consuming alcohol in the cooking process, and thus have no need to seek a non-alcoholic substitute for wine.

[@ms.dicaplesias4060]

So precise n useful❤Will try this for sure!

[@anniefannycharles9951]

My favorite sauce. The last time I made it I didn't have enough milk. I used sour cream. It came out delicious. You never know with cooking until you try. We gotta be brave!

[@xBloodXGusherx]

Your gurl said "1 to 4 HOURS" Lol.

[@Thestayathomechef]

Yes. Simmer for at least 1 hour. Simmer for up to 4 hours for a more developed flavor.

[@xBloodXGusherx]

@@Thestayathomechef I know. I'm too lazy to wait that long. I want pasta now! Guess I gotta get a head start!

[@joelt4416]

if you cover it the sauce does not reduce and it gets watery!

[@Thestayathomechef]

Matter cannot be created or destroyed. No extra liquid gets added by keeping the lid on, but rather it keeps all the liquid in the pot. With a long simmering time here, we aren’t looking for evaporation or reduction on this particular sauce. In fact, we don’t want to lose any liquid. We just want to develop flavor. If you leave the lid off while simmering this sauce, the results will be more of a solid that may burn as you allow liquids to evaporate.

[@joelt4416]

@@Thestayathomechef is just seems that every time I do a sauce and cover it, when i pour it over the pasta on the plate, a gross watery separation develops. Thanks for your explanation. :)
