Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to ensure even cooking and prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the tomatoes and the ground beef. Fresh, ripe tomatoes will give the sauce a better flavor, and a higher-fat ground beef will add richness.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables. The carrots, celery, and onion add sweetness and depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Brown the ground beef and vegetables well before adding the tomatoes. This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni.

Conclusion:

Ragu Bolognese is a classic Italian pasta sauce that is made with ground beef, tomatoes, vegetables, and herbs.
