One of my favorite comfort food meals to eat when it starts getting cold is Pasta Bolognese. [Ok, Bolognese is like my favorite meal ever that I eat in the heat of summer too, but just saying…]
I have tried MANY different recipes but recently we made the recipe below and I found it to be the best homemade Pasta Bolognese I’ve ever had/made. The recipe makes a ton and we still have some leftovers in the freezer (yum!). The sauce comes out rich, meaty (obvy), and a little creamy…just a spectacular dinner indulgence! I found this on the Pioneer Woman‘s website, we actually didn’t make a too many edits…
Ryan’s Bolognese Sauce
from http://www.thepioneerwoman.com
1/2 C Olive Oil
1-1/2 C Grated Carrots
1 whole Large Red Onion, Diced (we used sweet onion)
2 Lbs Ground Beef
2 Tbs Dried Oregano
2 Tbs Dried Basil Flakes
1 C (6 Ounce) Tomato Paste
5 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 C (to 2 Cups) Red Wine
2 Tbs Worcestershire
2 cans (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes (we used crushed)
1 C Milk
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Fresh Parmesan Cheese
Make a well in the center of the mixture and add red wine. Stir together. Add Worcestershire and stir. Add canned tomatoes. Finally, pour in milk, stir, and let simmer for 30 minutes to 2 hours—however long you need.
We served over homemade pasta and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
