Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 cups chicken stock, divided
1/4 cup heavy cream
5 garlic cloves, crushed (divided)
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
1 lb ground sirloin
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground veal
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave, chopped
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup quick-cooking polenta
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (plus extra for garnish)

Steps:

  • For the polenta: add 3 cups chicken stock, cream, 1 crushed garlic clove, salt, and pepper to a saucepan over med-low heat.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer and lower heat so it is barely bubbling; then start the Bolognese sauce.
  • Heat a deep skillet over med-high heat; add olive oil to heated pan.
  • Add remaining crushed garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and infuse the oil for 15 seconds.
  • Add the beef, pork, and veal to the pan; break the meat up with a wooden spoon.
  • Brown the meats for 3 minutes; then add onion, carrots, celery, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper; continue browning 5 more minutes.
  • When the vegetables are tender, add the wine and scrape up the drippings; then add in the remaining 1 cup chicken stock and reduce for 5 minutes.
  • Add in the tomatoes and lower heat to low.
  • Simmer for 5-10 minutes; finish the sauce with the chopped parsley.
  • As the Bolognese sauce is in its last 5-10 minutes of cooking time, whisk the polenta into the simmering seasoned chicken stock-cream mixture in a steady stream and stir constantly until the polenta can thickly coat the back of a spoon.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.
  • If the polenta is too stiff, loosen it up with a little chicken stock or water; turn the heat off and stir in the cheese.
  • To serve: divided the creamy polenta among 4 bowls; top with bolognese; garnish with more cheese.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. The creamy polenta was very rich and the Bolognese sauce was quite thick. I think it would be better with a lighter sauce or a side salad.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The creamy polenta was good, but the Bolognese sauce was a bit too watery. I would try this recipe again, but I would make some changes to the seasoning and sauce.

This recipe was a disaster! The creamy polenta was lumpy and the Bolognese sauce was burnt. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my creamy polenta and Bolognese sauce didn't turn out right. The polenta was too thick and the Bolognese sauce was too salty. I'm not sure what went wrong.
