Bolognese Sauce is a meat based sauce in Italian cuisine, typical of the city of Bologna. It is customarily used to dress Tagliatelle and to prepare Lasagne Alla Bolognese. In this sense it is more similar to the Neapolitan Ragu from the South of Italy than the Northern version of Bolognese.

Bolognese is a sauce made with Tomatoes, Garlic and Onion with the addition of Carrot and Celery with a dash of some Milk. It may sound unusual but it adds a distinct flavour as well as richness to the sauce along with some sweetness too.
Bolognese sauce is famous all around the World but in Italy where it is known as Ragu. Only the foreigners know it as Bolognese because it so happened that during the World War 2, the American soldiers passed through the city of Bologna and tried this sauce. Hence it is known to others as the Bolognese sauce to this date.
It's a great one to try with any of the Pasta dish as well.

Steps

1-2 hours

1

For the sauce, heat oil in a cooking pot. Add chopped garlic and onions. Saute until translucent and light pink with most of the raw smell gone. To this add in the chopped celery and the carrots. Saute until done. Do it on a low heat.
2

Now add the lamb mince. Cook on a medium high by stirring it every now and then for about 7-8 minutes. Do not add water. The meat would release so much of water that it gets cooked in it's own juices. After about 10 minutes, add the blanched and pureed tomatoes along with the tomato paste.
3

Mix well and lower the heat. Cook for about an hour or so on a low with a lid on. Keep checking it in between so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan or get burnt. Adjust salt and pepper just before taking it off the heat. That's it. It's all done. Also add generous amount of chopped coriander or parsley.
4

Creamy and luscious sauce is all done. Enjoy it on your most loved Pastas and Spaghetti. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
