A nice, well-rounded, full-bodied sauce which stands up well to any pasta. This is also a relatively short-cooking sauce.

Sounds yummie, a must to make. You have my 5 forks for the great post. Thanks for sharing.


Henrie, my friend, I am so happy that you like these two sauce recipes. I've been using both for so many years now that I can barely remember. I don't usually use a lot of sauce on my pasta so the Bolognese is a special favorite for me... mostly meat. Thanks for the five and enjoy!

This is very similar to the basic red sauce I make. The only thing I do different is after cooking the meat I push it to the side of the pan and add the tomato paste and fry it before adding the other ingredients I got that tip from a couple of my Italian cooking friends.
