How to Make Lovely Simple Bolognese Sauce
- Finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic. Saute in a large pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 medium diced carrot and 2 stalks of diced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, then add 1 pound of ground beef. Brown the beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, for about 8 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, and 28 ounces (1 large can) of crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for at least 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish with 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese.
- Optional: For a smoother, saucier consistency, stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite jarred marinara sauce at the end.
