Easy Bolognese Sauce Recipe
Yield: 4 people
Ingredients you need
- 50 g Butter
- 50 g Bacon diced
- 1 Onion
- 500 g Ground meat
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Stalk Celery optional
- 3 tbsp Tomato paste
- 200 ml Red wine
- 200 ml Beef broth
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1.5 tsp Ground pepper
- 1.5 tsp Dried Italian herbs mix or fresh Rosemary and Thyme
- 85 ml Heavy Cream
Directions
- Dice onions, (celery) and carrots.
- To prevent butter from burning, melt butter and add diced bacon on medium heat in a medium size pot.
- Sauté diced bacons for several minutes, until they turn brown. Thereafter, add onion dices into the pot.
- Once the onions turn translucent, add ground meat. Break up the ground meat into tiny pieces with a wood spoon and cook them until all turn brown.
- After which, add tomato paste and red wine to the pot. Close the lid of the pot for a few minutes, in order to evaporate some of the wine.
- Pour beef broth into the sauce and season it with salt, ground pepper and herbs. Dried Italian herbs or fresh Rosemary and Thyme would be great.
- Cover the pot with a lid, turn the heat to low and simmer the sauce for roughly 30 minutes. Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Shortly before turning off the heat, finish up the sauce with some heavy cream.
- Serve the sauce with your favourite pasta and some Parmesan cheese.
