This is the king of Bolognese recipes. Slow-cooked pork and beef melt together with a rich soffritto, peppery pancetta, tomato paste, passata, and peeled tomatoes to create a velvety sauce that’s full of bold, meaty flavour and satisfying depth. It gently bubbles away for hours, developing that silky richness with every stir. It’s perfect with al dente pappardelle or tagliatelle and creates an incredible base for lasagna too. A splash of milk toward the end adds a creamy finish that balances it together beautifully. Meaty, hearty, and soul-warming, it’s the kind of comfort food you’ll want to eat all week. One bite, and you’ll see why this needs to be on your go-to recipe list.

#bolognese #pasta #vincenzosplate

===============================================

INGREDIENTS:
500g / 17.6oz pork
500g / 17.6oz beef
100g / 3.5oz pancetta
1 brown onion (chopped)
2 celery sticks (chopped)
3 carrots (chopped)
1 bottle Italian passata
100g / 3.5oz tomato paste
400g / 14.1oz peeled tomatoes
1 glass of wine
1 mug of full cream milk (optional)
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Salt and pepper

METHOD:
1) Add pancetta to a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
2) In a large pot over low medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of EVOO and the blended pancetta. Let it sweat gently, then add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Cook the soffritto with the lid on for about 10 minutes. Every 2 minutes, check and stir to prevent burning using a wooden spoon.
3) After about 7 minutes, or when all ingredients are tender and glossy, add a splash of red wine, close the lid again, and let it finish cooking. Drizzle in a little more EVOO, then add the ground beef and pork, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat really well, and mix it into the soffritto until well incorporated.
4) Once the meat turns grey, pour in the remaining wine and mix well. Let it simmer for 10 minutes than season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Next, stir in the tomato paste and mix until it’s spread throughout the meat, then add the passata and peeled tomatoes.
5) Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 3 hours. Every 30 minutes, check the sauce, give it a stir, and make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom.
6) After 3 hours, remove the lid, stir the sauce well and continue cooking uncovered for 1 more hour. Add more salt and pepper to adjust the seasoning (after you taste it), and scrape the bottom of the pot as you stir. Keep the heat low.
7) If you want a silkier sauce, add a splash of full cream milk and let it cook for another 5 minutes. This step is optional, but highly recommended.

  1. Do you like my Ultimate Bolognese recipe? For Years I cooked my friend David Bolognese but when I went to Bologna searching for thr best Bolognese I realized that most recipes are the same but 1 ingredient or a cooking method changes and the recipe cab improve drastically. So I combined to of my favorite bolognese sauce recipes (from David and from Ragu take out shop in Bologna) and created this Ultimate Bolognese

  2. Sorry, cooking with a lid on, I believe that is something completely different. I can only say, I have never seen a recipe by some Italian nonna cooking this way. That is just wrong and I am sure about it, because I have always been thought that some exhaust, at least a little one, makes huge difference comparing to cooking Bolognese with a lid being completely on. Plus, for 4 hours!!! Forgive me if I am wrong, but have you tried to cook both ways for 4 hours and compared the final results???

  3. The ability to cook a sauce on a stove for 4 hours is not possible for me.

    Would I be able to cook everything up to the sauce, then put it in a crockpot and slow cook it the rest of the way?

  4. Vincenzo, You beautiful, uncompromising Italian superhero. You cannot skip the milk in a bolgnese! Don't allow people to call it a Bolognese without the fundamental ingredients. Ciao and cheers from Canada.

  5. Vincenzo that was great that you were able to combine the best of both chefs worlds. I wonder being experimental as I am, with pasta a la vodka I wonder you put red wine in the Bolognese could the this be substituted for vodka both are evaporating alcohol liquids . As always i would add Rosemary in the frying process I gotta garden full off Rosemary and it's best fragrant . Cheers

  6. Good timing. I just made ragu based on your recipe but I used ground beef because it's what I had. And I added a pecorino and parmesan rind in for flavor. I got some oil on top- is that because of the cheese?

  7. not sure why so many struggle that there are a thousand different ways to make something. of course there are.

  8. Vincenzo! Great recipe. In the genovese recipe, you blended the soffritto. Is it okay to do that here?

  9. Looks very lovely.
    Im not a fan of pancetta, so I use gaunciale. I also use a half beef bone conoe cut as to extract the marrow. Everything else looks spot, regards New York

  10. I always hate when some says “it’s not authentic” ie mexican, Italian, French, German, Greek…..yeah cause your ancestors in America are making it the way it should if they could in the homeland. 😂

  11. I stopped the Video already once after 3 minutes, got back days later and stopped after 3 sek later again… NO GO – You never make a valuation of ANYBODY else Bolognese!!! Never ever!!! I was just disgusted already within 3 minutes…

  12. Definitely have to give it a try but will have to look for an alternative for pancetta because hard to find here, but might add some basil towards end.
