A Bolognese sauce can be created for your pasta.
Bolognese sauce is a meat sauce that originated in Bologna, Italy. The sauce is used to cover any type of pasta, such as elbows, penne, ziti or spaghetti. Although Bolognese sauce contains a large number of ingredients, it isn't very hard to make. Once the basic ingredients are cooked, you can transfer the Bolognese sauce to the oven and bake it.
Instructions
1. Place 1 diced onion, 1/2 cup of diced zucchini, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks and 2 chopped cloves of garlic in a food processor and blend until pureed.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the pureed vegetables, 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir continuously.
3. Add 3 pounds of ground beef to the frying pan and cook until completely browned.
4. Stir in 8 ounces of tomato sauce, and 4 ounces of tomato paste. Cook for 5 minutes. Pour in 8 ounces of dry red wine, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Cook another 5 minutes.
5. Pour 1 cup of beef broth and 1 cup of whole milk in the sauce. Combine and then transfer to a baking dish.
6. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set the sauce in the oven with a lid, and bake for 2 hours. Stir every 25 to 30 minutes.
7. Boil a pot of water 20 minutes before the sauce is set to finish baking. Add 16 ounces of your favorite pasta, and cook until the pasta becomes as soft as you like it.
8. Drain the water from the pasta. Add the pasta to the baked Bolognese sauce and serve hot.
