Bolognese



  •  -------------Ingredients------------
    1 Lb Ground Beef
    1 Lb Ground Pork
    1 C Chopped Pancetta
    1 Onion, chopped
    3 Carrots, peeled and chopped
    2 Bay Leaves
    1/2 C Red or White Wine ( I used red)
    2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
    1 Can Chopped Tomatoes
    1 C Beef Stock
    Olive Oil
    Salt
    Pepper
    Butter
    Nutmeg
    Pasta of your choice

    -------------Preparation------------

    Heat 3 tbsp of  olive oil and butter and add the pancetta.  Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden…

    Chop your vegetables as small as you can and add them to the pan with pancetta

    Add the garlic and bay leaves and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

    Add beef and pork, and season and cook until browned

    Once the meat is cooked, add the wine and turn up the  heat to cook for another  3-5 minutes to burn off alcohol…

    Lastly add the tomato paste,  tomatoes and beef stock…

    Summer for an hour... season more if needed.

    Let the sauce cool and refrigerate for at least 1 day to absorb all the flavors.

    One day later, cook the pasta and serve the sauce over the noodles.
