Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 13.3 oz Ground Beef
  • 5 oz Bacon
  • 2 oz Carrot
  • 2 oz Celery
  • 2 oz yellow onion
  • 1 Red wine
  • 6.7 oz Vegetable Broth
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste black pepper

for initial mix

  • 6.7 oz Tomato Paste

for later step

  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste 2

Equipment

  • Non Stick Saucepan

Instructions

  1. 1

    To prepare the Bolognese sauce, first peel and finely chop the onion, celery, and carrot for the soffritto.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the bacon as well. Heat the oil in a non-stick saucepan, then add the bacon.

  3. 3

    Brown the bacon until it begins to melt and sizzle, releasing its fat; be sure to stir often to prevent burning. At this point, add the chopped vegetables.

  4. 4

    Let the chopped vegetables soften slowly over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (the onion must not taste burnt). Increase the heat and add the ground beef, stirring carefully.

  5. 5

    Cook for about ten minutes. Now pour in the wine and let the alcohol evaporate, then add the double concentrated tomato paste.

  6. 6

    Also add the tomato puree and the hot broth. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper halfway through cooking. If the meat sauce becomes too dry during cooking, you can add more broth.

  7. 7

    The sauce should be a beautiful dark orange color, rich and creamy. Finally, taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

  8. 8

    Your Bolognese sauce is ready to be used for your recipes!

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the canned goods.
