Bolognese Martha Style
I got this one from Martha Stewart Living. It’s simple and really really good!
Whatcha need…
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small carrot, peeled and grated (about 3/4 cup)
1 stalk celery, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 large red onion, peeled and finely chopped ( I use a white onion)
1/3 pound ground beef ( I use ground turkey)
1/4 pound ground pork
2 cups canned peeled whole tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
What to do with it…
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook for 2 minutes. Add beef and pork; cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is nicely browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and 1/4 cup water, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Remove from heat; stir in heavy cream, if desired. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
