It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients (or a lot of money) to make a classic Bolognese recipe. What it does take, though, is patience for the sauce to achieve the ideal authentic texture. You’re going to go low and slow—it’ll take around 3 hours, but most of that cook time is hands-off.

Creamy Bolognese

Creamy Bolognese

If someone asked me what I wanted to eat for my last meal it would be this Creamy Bolognese over fettuccine! I have perfected this recipe over the years of cooking every type of Italian sauce you could imagine. This one with the perfect ratio of ground beef to pork, sauteed alongside mirepoix, garlic, and spices, and simmered in a tomato based sauce is truly the perfect Italian family meal! Now, there's two ways you can make this sauce, you can stop before adding the heavy cream or you can follow the recipe exactly as written and add the heavy cream to add a touch of milky creamy goodness to this savory sauce. I have made both ways and enjoyed them both, but that little creamy, slightly sweetened touch of luxury takes your bolognese sauce to a whole other level! So, I have a feeling once you make this it will likely replace your go to sunday sauce! Are you ready? Let's make it!

We start with your choice of ground beef, pork, or lamb, allowing you to tailor the flavor profile to your preference. For an extra layer of irresistible depth, the addition of pancetta crisped to perfection lays a foundational richness that's hard to beat.

Don't forget a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan and fresh parsley or basil for serving!Dive into the comforting world of traditional Bolognese and create a meal that will impress everyone at your table.
