BOLOGNESE BIANCO

It may sound odd to make a Bolognese sauce without tomatoes, but this white version is deep with flavor from aromatics and herbs, white wine, and a little garam masala, an Indian spice blend that mimics the spices used in Tuscany. Cream adds body and richness.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely diced (about a cup)
1 medium carrot, finely diced (about a heaping 1/2 cup)
2 stalks celery, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 ounces pancetta, finely diced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 pound ground beef (85/15)
1 pound ground pork
1/2 teaspoon garam masala (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 piece Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese rind (optional)
1 pound ziti rigate, rigatoni or penne, cooked in generously salted water
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the oil, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, pancetta, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is rendered and cooked, and the vegetables are completely tender and golden, 16 to 18 minutes. (If the vegetables are browning too quickly, lower the heat.)
  • Add the ground beef, ground pork and the garam masala and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is completely broken up and cooked through, and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cream, and the cheese rind if using and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and the flavors come together, about 45 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and cheese rind, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the Bolognese Bianco tossed with the pasta and more grated Parmigiano.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
10 ounces rigatoni (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely diced
2 small carrots, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 cups multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh basil, torn
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente, about 12 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the ground beef, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until evenly combined, 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until almost completely dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water, the tomatoes and half the basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the mixture is saucy, 4 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the cheese to the sauce, then add the rigatoni; season with salt and pepper and toss, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining basil and more parmesan.

CHICKEN BOLOGNESE WITH RIGATONI



Chicken Bolognese with Rigatoni image

This dish calls for a mirepoix, a mixture of diced celery, carrot, and onion. Of course, you can chop these fresh, but I totally cheat and use the pre-chopped mixture from Trader Joe's. If your supermarket carries it and it fits your budget, go ahead and spend the money to save the time.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground chicken (white or dark meat, or a mixture of both)
1/2 cup peeled and diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced yellow onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
One (24-ounce) jar premade spaghetti sauce (see Cook's Note)
1 pound rigatoni pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded or grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
6 tablespoons ricotta cheese, optional
Chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, shallow saucepot over medium heat, brown the ground chicken. Add the carrot, celery, and onion and season with the salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 6 minutes, then add the Italian seasoning. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables soften and take on a little color.
  • Add the sauce to the pot and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions. Add the drained rigatoni to the sauce and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat.
  • Serve the rigatoni and sauce topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano and a sprinkle of basil or parsley. In our family, we've always eaten rigatoni with a scoop of ricotta on the side. If it sounds good to you, add a tablespoon of ricotta to each plate.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the pasta so it has plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Add a generous amount of salt to the pasta water to enhance the flavor of the pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.

  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • Serve the pasta with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.

Conclusion:

Rigatoni with white Bolognese is a creamy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The white Bolognese sauce is made with ground pork or turkey, vegetables, and a creamy sauce.
