His majesty the Bolognese sauce: the typical condiment of the classic lasagne. One of the most representative sauces of good Italian cuisine. A real comfort food since you let it "peep" in the pan and someone approaches to steal some with the piece of bread. If you too are among the gourmets who prepare ragù for Sunday on Saturday, be it tagliatelle or egg lasagna, you cannot miss all the steps in our recipe. There is only one Bolognese sauce: the one deposited by the Italian Academy of Cuisine at the Chamber of Commerce in 1982 and from which everyone draws to then create their own perfect recipe.
INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE
200 g of ground beef
100 g of minced pork
1 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 small carrot
1 stalk of celery
400 g of peeled tomatoes
some basil leaves
red wine
extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
Chop onion, garlic, celery and carrot in a blender.
Coat the bottom of a high-sided pan with the oil and heat, then brown the minced meat over medium heat and season with salt and pepper.
Combine the meat and cook carefully; when it starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, pour half a glass of red wine, mix and cook until it starts to stick again. Repeat this process three times.
Blend the tomatoes, add the basil and add to the meat without stirring, making sure that the tomato slowly soaks the meat for a few minutes, then mix, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Leave it to cook over a low heat for about 2 hours with the pan covered and, if necessary, add hot broth or hot water to keep the ragout rather moist.
During cooking, stir occasionally with a wooden spoon.
