Method

How to make spaghetti bolognese

  1. Start by finely chopping up celery, onions and carrots, you need 50g of each.
  2. Put the oil in a frying pan, add the crushed celery, onions and carrots and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then.
  3. Now you can add both beef and pork into the pan and let everything cook until all the fat from the meat has evaporated (approx 15-20 mins).
  4. Now it’s time for some wine! 🙂 Well, don’t drink all of it though, you need some for the recipe! 😀 Add the wine, give it a good stir and let the alcohol evaporate.
  5. When the wine’s evaporated you can add the tomato passata and ONLY 1 LITER of water.
  6. Add salt and pepper, stir and let it cook over medium-low heat for an hour.
  7. After the first hour you can add another liter of water and cook it for another hour.
  8. Same again, add the last liter of water and let cook for an hour (3 hours in total).
  9. After three hours, taste it to check if it needs more salt or pepper and add the milk.
  10. A last 5 minutes of stirring and your ragu for your spaghetti bolognese is ready!
BUON APPETITO!
