Best Italian Sausage Bolognese Recipes

SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE SAUCE (BEEF AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE)

Steps:

• Brown ground beef, season to taste with salt and pepper, drain and set aside.
• Cut link sausage up into meatball size pieces, brown, drain, and set aside. I use Thomasville Hot. If making sauce for lasagna, remove sausage from casings and brown with the ground beef.
• Sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper in olive oil, just until the onions are translucent.
• Add meat, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, herbs and spices, mushrooms, sugar, and wine. I use fresh mushrooms, and a red burgandy for a deeper earthy flavor. Omit mushrooms if making sauce for lasagna.
• Simmer on medium low for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
• When ready to serve, mix corn starch with water and add to sauce, along with both cheeses to thicken.
• When cheese is incorporated, and sauce has thickened, serve over your choice of pasta or use as a meat filling for lasagna.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Gently stew the finely chopped celery, carrot and onion in a saucepan with oil, add the Italia sausage meat (just take the skin off the sausages) and brown well.
• Pour in the dry white wine and once is complitely evaporated add the porcini mushrooms previously soaked in lukewarm water and chopped and the sliced chestnut mushrooms.
• Add 1 cup of the hot broth and the tomato paste and simmer gently for 15 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper if needed
• Meanwhile, bring to a boil in a large pot of water to which you have added salt and cook the pasta al dente, drain and stir it with sauce, blending with ¾ of your grated Auricchio Provolone cheese.
• Serve your Italian Sausage ragout Pappardelle with Porcini Mushrooms and Provolone hot, sprinkled with the remaining Provolone.
