Bolognese Sauce

I have to start by raving about this bolognese sauce. It’s my go-to recipe for sauce. It takes some time to make, it’s one of those low and slow type of recipes. It’s so worth the effort and time though. It is my favourite bolognese sauce in the world. And I’ve eaten a lot of bolognese on the path to this one. A LOT of bolognese!

This is something I make about once a month. It’s a great recipe since you can alter it to suit your taste. So if you prefer shallots instead of onions you can adjust that. If you aren’t a wine fan you don’t have to use it. If you want to use bacon instead of pancetta that’s just fine and dandy. The ingredients are easy to play around with and tweak to your liking. Which to me is the mark of a great family recipe that will stand the test of time.

One thing I’ve learned is I do not have a tolerance for fresh pasta. I love fresh pasta, but it does not love me back. Something about it that gets my IBS jumping in a big way. Occasionally I throw caution to the wind and invite trouble by using fresh pasta anyway. But more often than not I use dried pasta since my tummy seems to cope with it better. Just one of those things you learn to adjust according to your dietary needs. There’s great whole wheat pastas out there if that’s your “thang”, I can’t do straight up whole wheat so it’s not my “thang”. There’s also wonderful quinoa and rice noodles out there if that’s your “thang”. I personally don’t care for the quinoa ones and brown rice I react to. So for me it’s plain old noodles. Which is good since I love the plain stuff like no ones business. I could eat pasta with plain old noodles every single day. And you all see how often I post pasta recipes so you know this chick isn’t fibbing. I like carbs, sue me! Before you do hand me a big bowl of pasta first though.

Bolognese Sauce

A fabulous recipe for Bolognese Sauce!
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 oz 60 g pancetta, cut into small cubes
  • 4 small carrots diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 4 shallots diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cloves of fresh garlic pressed or minced
  • 1/2 cup of dry red wine
  • 28 oz can of San Marzano tomatoes
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth I use 4 cups boiling water & 2 heaping tablespoons Better Than Bouillon Base for my broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt I really like himalayan salt
  • Pepper to taste I hate pepper and never use it
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried sweet basil
  • Dash of nutmeg

Putting it together:

  • 2 packages of fresh pasta or 1 large package of dried pasta
  • 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for serving

Instructions

  • In a large saute pan or dutch oven over medium low heat add your butter. Let it get all melty and foamy. Then once the foam begins to go away drop in your pancetta and cook for about 3 minutes on it's own.
  • Now add the carrots, celery and shallots and make sure you spread them around the pan. Let them cook until they get golden which can take about 30 minutes. If it's cooking too fast turn down your heat a touch. You can also add a touch of water to slow the process if it's cooking too high or fast. You want to continue to stir it occasionally. It's ready when it's golden in colour and smells like it's caramelizing.
  • Now add both meats (ground pork and ground beef) and stir really well. Raise the heat to medium and begin to work the meat, breaking it up into small crumbly pieces. This should take about 20 minutes. Do not overcook. Overcooked meat will not absorb flavour well.
  • Add your garlic and give it a stir for about a minute or two.
  • Now add the wine to the pan. Cook on medium until the wine evaporates, takes about 2 to 4 minutes. If you don't want to use wine add a touch of lemon or balsamic vinegar to give the acid the wine would to the dish.
  • Now add the tomatoes, half the paste, all the broth, all the milk, and all your spices.
  • Bring to a good boil, you want it starting to bubble up. Then reduce to low heat and let it simmer for about an hour. Give it a stir a few times during that hour. If it seems to be cooking too fast you can lower the temperature and also add some more broth to help.
  • Now partially cover the pan, and continue to cook for about another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. It should begin to thicken and go a browner colour. For me I like my sauce more red and deeper in flavour so I add the second half of the paste after an hour, then cook for that last half an hour. This really takes the sauce to the next level in my opinion.
  • Cover the pan and simmer till noodles are ready.

Putting it together:

  • Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil. Add a good amount of salt. Drop in your noodles and cook according to the directions, minus about 1 minute.
  • Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining! Just ladle it into a container or dunk a measuring cup into the water.
  • Now drain your noodles but DO NOT RINSE.
  • Add a little bit of really good olive oil to the noodles. About 2 to 3 tablespoons worth. Mix it up again in the big stock pot.
  • Now mix the noodles and the sauce together in either the stock pot you used for the noodles or in the dutch oven your sauce is in. Bring the heat back up to a medium low heat while you toss. This process should only take a minute or two. You want the noodles, olive oil and sauce to all marry together. If it's a tad dry or if you're like me and really like even more flavour, add about 1/4 cup of pasta water to the pot now. Give it a good stir. You can add more if you like. Give it a taste and adjust accordingly.
  • Serve with a big old carb loving smile and some Parmigiano-Reggiano over top!

Notes

Recipe slightly adapted from WIlliams Sonoma Pasta Cookbook

Bolognese Sauce

I’ve slightly adapted this recipe from the cookbook Williams Sonoma Pasta. I have to tell you this is a cookbook in a series of cookbooks by them I bought at Costco of all places. I love each cookbook from the series but this pasta one is amazing.

This dish is a family favourite. So much so we make it all the time. Honestly it’s what I crave when I want comfort food. And apparently I want comfort food a lot.

Bolognese Sauces by Cravings of a Lunatic

When making good Italian food you want really good quality olive oil. I love olive oil way too much. I think I have about 30 bottles of varying flavours. It’s a little addiction on my part. I’ll have to take a photo of all my oils for you one day when I have some free time. It’s impressive. As are my collections of vinegar. And sauces. I have a problem apparently. It’s my dirty little secret. I hoard oils, sauces and vinegar. I can’t help myself. It’s not my fault.

If I have to blame anyone it would have to be Aurora Importing. They make the very best olive oil I’ve ever tasted in my life. If you visit my Pizza Bites post there is a giveaway going on for an Frantoi Cutrera Olive Oil Tasting Box. And today I have another special treat for you. Since my peeps at Aurora Importing know how much I love their olive oil they sent me a nice big bottle of Frantoi Cutrera Frescolio to try. I’ve tried their Frantoi Cutrera Primo oil and honestly I will bop my family in the head if they try to use it. I have a tiny little bit left from a bottle they sent me awhile back. So they did me a solid and sent me a wonderful bottle of the Frantoi Cutrera Frescolio to try out. So the special treat today is they have told me I can giveaway 1 bottle of this liquid gold to 1 lucky reader. Aren’t they amazing! That’s not even a question, which is why I used an exclamation point instead of a question mark. Cuz that’s how I roll. I love this company. For realz! Now here’s the deets on this very special treat:

    We love pasta with really good olive oil drizzled over, along with some fresh grated parmesan, red pepper flakes and parsley. This oil would be fantastic for that! Occasionally we add some roasted shrimp or chicken.

    Favorite dish with olive oil? Um, it might take me a while to whittle it down. I go through olive oil like crazy. I love really good olive oil in salad dressings (simple vinaigrette ones). And if the olive oil is super good then just pour some in a bowl for me to dip bread into.
    Oh, and I’ve never made fresh pasta. (I don’t have a pasta roller). I bought some one time and it disintegrated when I cooked it. So I stick to the regular dried pasta too.

      Me too Renee. I just love the stuff.

      Oh that’s not good. I’ve made my own and bought some fresh. I like the taste but it does not agree with my tummy. It’s sort of fun to roll out your own. I was lucky, my sis sent me a pasta attachment for my mixer. Otherwise it would be an indulgence I couldn’t afford.

    The dish I most love using olive oil in is roasted shrimp with lemon slices and capers. The olive oil rounds out the bold flavors in this dish. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter to win the “Liquid Gold”. I am like you, my family know better than to touch the coveted olive oils. LOL

It uses a deep fryer so you would have to oversee the kids but it shows my daughter making them step by step. She worked at a pizza joint in town so I convinced her to let me photograph her making it. Not only a cool step by step post but omg deep fried pizza is flipping good. Not at all healthy or good for you but good. Lol!

    That’s a great looking sauce – your recipe is quite good. I’m more of a meat sauce kind of guy, but a good Bolognese is wonderful. I, too, like that Better than Bouillon base – such good stuff! You might try making your fresh pasta with semolina sometime instead of flour. Most dried pasta is made from semolina, so the switch might help your IBS. Or not – I’m no doctor, nor do I play one on TV!

      I dig both. Put meat in front of me and I turn into a cave woman. I wish it wasn’t true but I seriously have a weak spot for any kind of beef. Isn’t BTB the bomb. I saw it at Costco recently. They were selling the beef although I have to admit I dig the veggie base the most.

      I need to find semolina. Stuff like that is wicked hard to find locally. I wonder if I could order it off Amazon. I might need to try that. Might be the solution to my pasta woes. I love homemade pasta and would love to make it more.

      I could not stop laughing at your last sentence. I remember that commercial. I’m showing my age now.

    It looks delicious Kim! What a great meat sauce! I love the nice thick fresh noodles, although your stomach may not have. It looks amazing!

      Thanks Jeff. Love noodles. I just have to be so careful which ones I use. I found a company in the states when I went to a conference and they make some cool pasta. Dreamfields is the name. Not sure if you have that brand in your area but I’ve never seen it here. I need to make a stateside shopping excursion so I can restock it. Doesn’t seem to bother my tummy like some do. Holds up nice too.

      I hate snow. We have some still on the ground. I keep threatening to move to Hawaii. I swear I was adopted. There’s no way I’m Canadian with how much I hate snow and cold. And timmies. That’s just wrong not to like timmies when you’re a Canuck.

    As an Italian gal, I use olive oil in like…everything! My favorite way though is in a simple dish called aglio e olio. Just pasta mixed with garlic and olive oil with some salt and parm and you are good to go!

    My favorite olive oil pasta dish is so simple that I don’t know a name for it—Olive oil, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, tons of whatever veggies I have, dash of red pepper…tossed with whatever shape pasta I have (usually spaghetti) and topped with Parmesan.
