Introduction
A rich, thick, and perfectly comforting meat sauce cooked with carrots, celery, onion, and ground beef. Finished with a splash of milk for a luxurious, creamy texture, it is served over pasta with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Step 1
Finely chop the carrots, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces to create the mirepoix base.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Important Notes
Simmering the sauce for a total of 3 hours allows the flavors to fully develop and meld together.
Using a heavy pot helps distribute heat evenly and prevents burning over long simmer times.
Salting the pasta water generously is crucial for building flavor inside the pasta strands.
Bolognese sauce stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or can be frozen for up to 3 months (ideally stored separately from the pasta).
