Really Rich Spaghetti Bolognese - 'goodfellas' Style

"In Goodfellas the movie, (and Casino) they love their rich meat sauces, (unlike the fairly bland British varion of Bolognese). The finished recipe should look a rich red colour. Don't bother with this unless you have sun dried tomatoes."

  1. I love this recipe. It is really rich in flavor. I made this 6 times and it tasted REALLY GOOD everytime <33333 thank you very much!
     
  2. Went down a treat! Was really surprised that balsamic vinegar could replace the red wine, but it worked well. Takes quite a while to cook, but worth the wait...

I live in London, England. I dislike the way some cooks measure everything so precisely, just use your eyes and head and be passionate and it will tase great. I love anything except raspberries as the little seeds get in my teeth and are ewwwww horrid!
