Super Easy Bolognese Sauce

"I spent a lot of time looking through recipes for a decent yet easy Bolognse sauce. I ended up fusing a few of them together. The longest amount of time is the wait time for the sauce to simmer and blend. I do not use basil in my recipe because my brother is severely allergic to anything using basil and pinenuts. I have begun using this as a basic sauce for all my pasta dishes that include meant: lasagna, baked ziti, spaghetti . . . . This is a VERY forgiving recipe. I hope you like it!"

directions

  • Brown the ground beef and sausage together on medium-high heat.
  • Halfway through browning, add garlic and dried oregano.
  • Continue to brown all the way through, DO NOT DRAIN FAT.
  • Sprinkle flour over meat and stir until flour dissolves and disappears.
  • Add heavy cream and milk, simmer until it all evaporates (this helps make the meat extremely tender).
  • Repeat with wine.
  • Add in all the tomatoes, the tomato paste, and broth.
  • Simmer on low for close to 2 hours.
  • Stir in brown sugar (this is to help cut the sourness and acidity).

  1. This is really a great, easy Bolognese Sauce! I I DID use some basil as no one here is allergic to it and I love it. Used white wine and 2 T. brown sugar and 1 can of beef broth and 1 can of chicken broth. Next time, I may add some celery, onion and carrot, finely chopped. Served over penne pasta. Yumm!! The sauce also freezes well. Thanks for posting, flirtyfunchick. Posted for PAC 2010.
