From my last batch of ragu. Tomato puree, tomato paste, ground beef, Italian sausage, carrot, onion, celery, garlic, red wine, extra water, and simmered for hours. Served with rigatoni, butter, and parmagiano reggiano.

    The sauce-to-pasta ratio is spot on. This looks like it belongs in a high-end restaurant.

    Looks quite good. I would like to ask what type of ground beef do you use when make the ragu?

    Personally, I use medium ground beef as I find it has much more flavour than lean or extra-lean and I never mix it with any other type of ground meat.

    Happy eating!

    Exactly how I want my plate to look on Sunday.

    That is my 2nd favorite Italian meal. Man, does that look delicious! I’ve already had dinner but I could find a little room for that!

    My numero uno meal is Baked Ziti made with Beef Bolognese sauce, and fresh mozzarella.
    I’ll get a fresh loaf of Italian bread from the bakery, and make small Insalata mistas for the side, served with a glass (or two) of Torraiolo Toscana Red Blend Wine.
    Oh, baby! You’ll think you died and have gone to Little Italy for the afterlife!
    Side note, I simmer my bolognese sauce for hours as well in a crock pot. I use 2 lbs of grass-fed ground chuck, but its numbers are 85/15. I’ve always considered Chuck at 80/20. But the 85/15 tastes wonderful in my bolognese recipe.

    I’m serious though, your rigatoni looks absolutely delicious!
    Great job!

    Hmm, I was going to make Shepherd’s Pie for dinner tomorrow, but I may pull my last bag of bolognese sauce from the freezer in the morning and make a pan of pasta instead.
