A friend from Italy gave this recipe to my mom, and since then it’s become the base for all our Italian dishes that use it: lasagna, spaghetti bolognese, baked ziti—any of these delicious meals. It’s very simple; the secret is to let it simmer for hours so it thickens and the flavors become rich and concentrated.

Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients. Use mixed ground meat, or buy pork and beef separately and mix them yourself. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

  7. 7

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If it thickens too quickly, add 1/2 cup water as needed. The sauce should be thick and darker in color than when you started. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, though usually no extra salt is necessary because of the sauces. Use with your chosen dish. Here, I served it with a mix of whole wheat spaghetti and zucchini noodles, topped with Parmesan cheese.
