Making an authentic Italian pasta Bolognese involves taking time to build layers of flavor in the sauce. Here’s a traditional recipe for pasta Bolognese:
Ingredients:
For the Bolognese Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, finely diced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1 pound (450g) ground beef (or a mixture of beef and pork)
1/2 cup red wine (optional)
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
1-2 pounds of pasta (tagliatelle or fettuccine work well)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce:
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add finely diced carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground meat. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
Pour in the red wine (if using) and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it gently simmer, partially covered, for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavors will be.
About 30 minutes before the sauce is done, pour in the milk or cream and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. Simmer for the remaining time.
2. Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta cooking water.
3. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add a ladleful of the Bolognese sauce to the drained pasta and toss to coat. This helps the sauce adhere to the pasta.
Serve the pasta onto plates or a serving dish. Ladle more Bolognese sauce over the pasta.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.
Tips:
Traditional Bolognese sauce is slow-cooked to develop rich flavors. Adjust seasoning and add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Authentic Bolognese is often served with wider pasta noodles like tagliatelle or fettuccine, but you can use your preferred pasta.
You can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it when ready to serve for even better flavor.
Enjoy your homemade Italian-style pasta Bolognese!
