Bolognese Beef Sauce image

This recipe is from one of my favorite cooking shows - Best Recipes Ever. If you prefer you could use ground turkey instead of ground beef. The longer you slow simmer this sauce the better. I used ground turkey and could not detect the difference. I also cut the crushed and diced tomatoes back by 50%, as I thought it would otherwise be too 'tomatoye'

Time 2h

Yield 8 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb extra lean ground beef
6 ounces pancetta, finely chopped (or use bacon)
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, finely diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon fennel seed, lightly crushed
1/2 cup milk
28 ounces whole tomatoes
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine (or 2 tsp/10 mL red wine vinegar)
1 bay leaf
1 pinch granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, saute beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off any fat.
  • Add pancetta, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, salt, pepper and fennel seeds; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Add milk; simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, wine, bay leaf and sugar, breaking up tomatoes with potato masher (I usually just use a fork). .
  • Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened and mixture can mound on spoon, about 1 hour.
  • Discard bay leaf. Stir in parsley.
  • (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate, uncovered, in airtight container until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.).
