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!

It rewards close attention to weight rather than volume in the matter of the ingredients, and asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza flour (designated “00” on the bags and available in some supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator.

About this Recipe

Craving that signature, comforting taste of Old Spaghetti Factory's beloved Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese pasta? You can effortlessly recreate this iconic dish right in your own kitchen, bringing that cherished, nostalgic flavor home with remarkable ease. This simple yet brilliant recipe perfectly captures the magic of the original by focusing on two stellar components: rich, nutty browned butter and the distinct, salty tang of mizithra cheese. The careful browning of butter develops a deep, toasty aroma and a complex, almost caramel-like flavor that forms the soul of the sauce, beautifully complemented by the sharp notes of romano cheese. Prepare for a deeply savory and utterly comforting pasta experience. With each forkful, you'll encounter the luscious, velvety texture of pasta coated in the exquisite browned butter, delivering warm, toasted notes that are truly addictive. This richness is perfectly cut by the unique, piquant saltiness of grated mizithra, balanced further by the familiar savory depth of romano cheese. It’s a wonderfully satisfying main course that proves how powerful a few quality ingredients can be when combined thoughtfully. While this dish shines brightest in its classic form, you can certainly experiment. Feel free to use your favorite pasta shape, from classic spaghetti to broader fettuccine or even sturdy penne, all of which will readily embrace the rich sauce. For a touch of vibrant color and a hint of freshness, consider sprinkling additional fresh herbs like chives or basil alongside the traditional minced parsley. This hearty and incredibly flavorful pasta is perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner when you need a taste of home, or as a special treat for friends and family. Serve it simply, perhaps alongside a crisp, light green salad to beautifully balance the dish's richness.
