Ingredients Meat & Poultry Beef Recipes Ground Beef Recipes Spaghetti With Bolognese Sauce 3.7 (108) Close Prep Time: 30 mins Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins Servings: 4 Our version of the Italian classic Spaghetti with Bolognese Sauce includes ground pork. If you'd like to skip the pork; just use an additional pound of ground beef for this pasta dish. Directions Make sauce: In a Dutch oven (or 5-quart saucepan), heat oil over high heat. Add onions, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add beef and pork; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add wine and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a simmer; cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 hour. Add milk; simmer until completely absorbed, about 15 minutes more. Season again with salt and pepper. When sauce is almost done, cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions; drain. Toss pasta with half the meat sauce; save remaining sauce for next day. Serve sprinkled with cheese. Cook's Notes Reserve half the sauce (about 4 cups) to make Bolognese Pie. Cool completely before refrigerating in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
