BOLOGNESE BIANCO

It may sound odd to make a Bolognese sauce without tomatoes, but this white version is deep with flavor from aromatics and herbs, white wine, and a little garam masala, an Indian spice blend that mimics the spices used in Tuscany. Cream adds body and richness.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely diced (about a cup)
1 medium carrot, finely diced (about a heaping 1/2 cup)
2 stalks celery, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 ounces pancetta, finely diced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 pound ground beef (85/15)
1 pound ground pork
1/2 teaspoon garam masala (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 piece Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese rind (optional)
1 pound ziti rigate, rigatoni or penne, cooked in generously salted water
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the oil, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, pancetta, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is rendered and cooked, and the vegetables are completely tender and golden, 16 to 18 minutes. (If the vegetables are browning too quickly, lower the heat.)
  • Add the ground beef, ground pork and the garam masala and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is completely broken up and cooked through, and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cream, and the cheese rind if using and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and the flavors come together, about 45 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and cheese rind, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the Bolognese Bianco tossed with the pasta and more grated Parmigiano.

I first became aware of this recipe while reading a book. While the author gave an outline of ingredients for the sauce, there were no amounts or directions. So - I made it my mission to find a recipe similar to the one I read about. This is what I have created based on several online recipes and what I like. I hope you like it too.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 lb mild Italian sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
1/2 lb ground beef
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup beef stock
1 cup chicken stock
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped
1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1 lb penne pasta
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Pour a very thin coat of olive oil over the bottom of a large sauté pan and place over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, carrots, and celery and sauté, stirring often, until shiny and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper while cooking. Add the sausage to the pan, breaking apart the crumbles, and brown well.
  • Pour in the wine and keep at a brisk simmer until the wine has all but evaporated. Mix together the beef and chicken stock and pour 1 1/2 cups into the pan. Continue to simmer, uncovered, until stock is nearly gone (about 12-14 minutes). Stir occasionally. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Stir in the chopped mushrooms and the remaining 1/2 cup stock mixture. Continue simmering another 10 minutes. Pour over the Half & Half and fold to mix, then turn off heat and cover.
  • When the pasta water is at a full boil, add penne and cook until al dente. When the pasta is almost done, scoop out a half cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and place it back in the pot. Pour the sauce on top, and add the parsley and most of the grated cheese (reserve some for garnish).
  • Fold in the sauce with a wooden spoon--it should not be dry, rather a silky sauce should coat the pasta evenly. Add a little pasta water if too thick. Serve hot, with grated parmesan on top.
