The sauce has a good taste. DH found something was missing. Maybe more spices. Or maybe red wine would have more flavor than white wine. The sauce didn't coat the pasta but I guess that's the same for all bolognese sauce. Another time I may cook the meat first in a skillet, cause the meat were in big chuncks and was hard to broke.
