Nonna Consuelo's Authentic Italian Bolognese Sauce (From LIVE Wi image

Nonna Consuelo (Kelly Ripa's Mother-In-Law) made an appearance on "Mom's Week" on LIVE with Kelly & Michael to show her authentic Italian Bolognese Sauce. I have made this many times, and I can't go back to any other recipe. This sauce freezes well; feel free to double or triple the recipe to make a big batch.
