Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small/medium carrot
1 small celery stalk
1 small onion
10 1/2 ounces ground beef (not too lean)
10 1/2 ounces ground pork
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 1/4 cups tomato puree (passata)
2-3 pinches salt
2 dashes pepper
1-2 whole bay leaves
1/3 cup milk (2 % or whole milk)

Steps:

  • Cut the carrot, celery and onion very fine (must not too much that it becomes pulpy when cooked).
  • In a medium to large heavy pot add the olive oil and chopped vegetables, cook covered on low heat (stirring occasionally) until onion is transparent.
  • Increase the heat to medium and add the ground beef and pork. Stirring as the meat is cooking to break up the pieces. Once the meat has browned turned the heat up to high and add the wine.
  • Cook until the alcohol has evaporated (about 20-30 seconds) and the liquid has evaporated. Decrease the heat to medium/low and add the tomato paste, puree, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Gradually decrease the heat to the lowest setting cover and let simmer for three hours (the mixture should not boil). Stir occasionally.
  • After the time has passed remove the bay leaf and add the milk, heat thoroughly for a couple of minutes. Serve over cooked pasta. Enjoy!

This special bolognese is wonderful to top any kind of pasta, not just the traditional spaghetti. The Worcestershire sauce and the harissa give it unique tangy spicy flavor, and the mascarpone gives an incredibly creamy turn to the sauce.

Time 3h10m

Yield 16 or enough sauce for 2 (9 by 13-inch) pans lasagne

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, medium chop
3 carrots, medium chop
3 celery stalks, medium chop
5 ounces pancetta, cut into small cubes
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 handfuls fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground veal
1 cup red wine
3 (28-ounce) cans pelati tomatoes*
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Saute the onion, carrots, and celery in about 5 tablespoons olive oil in a large rondeau until soft. Add the pancetta to the soffritto (onion mixture). Cook on a medium-high flame for about 7 to 10 minutes, then add the meat; break it up well with a wooden spoon. Cook's Note: You can jack up the heat a bit, and keep stirring until all the ground meat is browned. Add the red pepper flakes and the parsley and cook for just 1 minute.
  • Add the wine now and cook until the alcohol is completely evaporated, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Pulse the tomatoes smooth in a food processor and add them to the meat, season generously with salt and pepper, lower the flame to medium and cook for about 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Finish the sauce by adding the whole milk, stir well and set aside, to cool off.
