 Bolognese Sauce Recipe



Bolognese Sauce Recipe

Easy Quick and Economical


A good Bolognese sauce recipe is essential for every cook and this one has served us well over the years. It brings great Italian Mediterranean flavours to any pasta dish. The secret is in the ingredients, always use the best quality ingredients you can find, it pays dividends in the long run.
The other secret is, of course, the cooking.
Don't be afraid to let it cook for a long time. It is one of the few things that we will cook in a pressure cooker.  We can't emphasise this enough -  Bolognese Beef Sauce can be cooked and cooked and then cooked some more and it will just get better and better.
Experiment with different additions as you go along, find your own special version. You can add Finely chopped Carrots, Celery, Bacon or Ham - Some people even like to add Chicken Livers for added flavour. One particular favorite of ours is to add half a pint of Creamy Bechamel and half a pound of sauteed mushrooms to the basic sauce: fantastic with any Pasta you Like.
