Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 cup ground veal
1/2 cup ground pork
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dry porcini mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes and chopped, liquid reserved
2 tablespoons porcini juice, reserved from above
3/4 cup veal stock
1/4 cup canned or jarred marinara sauce
1/3 cup white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley leaves
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 large clove garlic, minced
4 cups fresh tomato puree
1 large fresh basil stem with leaves removed
1 teaspoon sea salt, preferably gray salt
Pinch baking soda or sugar, if needed

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook gently to sweat for about 2 minutes. Do not let the onions caramelize. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook about 1 minute, or until garlic is lightly browned.
  • Add the veal and pork and cook, smashing the meat apart with a wooden spoon, to keep it from clumping together. Cook for about 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook about 4 minutes, evaporating any liquid and caramelizing the meat.
  • Add the porcini juice to the meat and cook for 1 minute to evaporate. Add the veal stock and cook for 2 minutes. Add the marinara and the wine. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
  • Toss 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan into the sauce to help it bind. Add some reserved pasta water, as necessary, if the sauce appears too dry. Top with the remaining Parmesan.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large non-reactive pot over moderate heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the parsley and garlic and cook briefly to release their fragrance. Add the tomatoes, basil and salt. Simmer briskly until reduced to a sauce like consistency, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. The timing will depend on the ripeness and meatiness of your tomatoes and the size of your pot. If the sauce thickens too much before the flavors have developed, add a little water and continue cooking.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the sauce tastes too acidic, add the baking soda and cook for 5 more minutes. If it needs a touch of sweetness, add the sugar and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove the basil stem before serving.

I'm not a fan of this recipe. I think there are better Bolognese sauce recipes out there.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say when to add the mushrooms or the cream.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much wine.

This sauce was a complete disaster! It was way too salty and the mushrooms were rubbery.

This sauce is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with less butter next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of meat. The sauce was still delicious!

I used ground beef instead of veal and pork, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of red wine to the sauce.

This sauce is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. The flavor is incredible.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed the porcini mushrooms in this sauce. They added a nice earthy flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pork. But I'm so glad I did! The pork added a wonderful depth of flavor to the sauce.
