Super Easy Bolognese Sauce image

I spent a lot of time looking through recipes for a decent yet easy Bolognse sauce. I ended up fusing a few of them together. The longest amount of time is the wait time for the sauce to simmer and blend. I do not use basil in my recipe because my brother is severely allergic to anything using basil and pinenuts. I have begun using this as a basic sauce for all my pasta dishes that include meant: lasagna, baked ziti, spaghetti . . . . This is a VERY forgiving recipe. I hope you like it!

Time 3h30m

Yield 4-6 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb bulk sausage (I use Jimmy Dean Hot sausage)
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/2 cup wine (red, white, or pink, as long as it is a wine you would drink)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cups beef broth (can substitute chicken broth)
2 -4 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Brown the ground beef and sausage together on medium-high heat.
  • Halfway through browning, add garlic and dried oregano.
  • Continue to brown all the way through, DO NOT DRAIN FAT.
  • Sprinkle flour over meat and stir until flour dissolves and disappears.
  • Add heavy cream and milk, simmer until it all evaporates (this helps make the meat extremely tender).
  • Repeat with wine.
  • Add in all the tomatoes, the tomato paste, and broth.
  • Simmer on low for close to 2 hours.
  • Stir in brown sugar (this is to help cut the sourness and acidity).

I wanted to try something different during our family game night, so I made this. It was phenomenal! This is not the last time you'll hear from me, Alice. Stay tuned!

The Bolognesa sauce has become a staple at our place. It's the quickest, easiest and most delicious way to feed a hungry man-cub like mine.

I was a bit skeptical about making Bolognesa in 30 minutes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce is finger-licking good, and everyone at dinner was fighting over the last bite. A new fav discovered! xxoo

I've made this a couple of times now, and it's a massive hit with my family. My 3-year-old even loved it. You have a fan club here, Alice.

Added this to my pantry survival kit. The Bolognesa is not only easy to make, but also super-tasty. It's the perfect quickie for a 'hangry' household like mine.

Just wanted to say that this is the best Bolognesa sauce I've tried. My friends who tried it last weekend can't wait for the next helping. Kudos, Alice!

My partner, who's a notorious Bolognesa snob, gave this version two green-thumbed-thumbs-up. A new family favorite for sure.

This Bolognesa sauce is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! My kids gobbled it up, and I can't believe how easy it was to make. The flavors are authentic and delicious. Ciao Italia!
