The 130-Year-Old Italian Spaghetti Sauce Recipe That's Still Delicious Today
"When it's cold outside, nothing is as satisfying as comfort food. It's the simple, hearty, and familiar flavors that make bubbling casseroles and simmering soups so nourishing. Homemade bolognese sauce is the foundation of my family's favorite cozy dinner. It's a slow-cooked sauce that has layers of savory flavor and a rich, meaty texture. It takes patience to make but the reward is so much more delicious than any sauce you can pour from a jar."
"Sauté the vegetables. Build flavor in the bolognese sauce starting with the aromatics. Cook onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in a bit of oil until softened. Season and brown the beef. Add lean ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg to the pot. Cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces, until browned and no pink remains. Add and reduce milk, and then wine. Pour in whole milk and cook until evaporated, then add dry white wine and do the same."
Homemade bolognese is a slow-cooked, layered sauce with a rich, meaty texture that serves as a cozy, satisfying comfort-food dinner. Starting with simple, quality ingredients and patient simmering produces restaurant-quality results at home. Aromatics are sautéed—onion, carrot, celery, and garlic—then lean ground beef is seasoned with kosher salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg and browned. Whole milk is added and reduced to tenderize the meat, followed by dry white wine reduced similarly. Finally, whole peeled tomatoes and low-sodium chicken broth are added and the sauce is simmered until flavors meld into a deeply savory sauce.
