  • Bolognese sauce smothered over your favorite pasta is known to warm the heart and perfect for any day of the week. This pork and beef mince based bolognese sauce has a special, often forgotten ingredient that makes all the difference…moist, juicy pancetta! The key to keeping Bolognese sauce moist and flavoursome, is slow cooking it keeping all the meat luscious and tender.
    We recommend making an extra-large batch and storing extra in the fridge or freezer for a mid-week meal that will take you right back to Italy.

    HOW TO MAKE BOLOGNESE SAUCE
    INGREDIENTS:
    1 x brown onion
    1 x celery stalk
    1 x carrot
    150g/5.03oz pancetta
    500g/17.06oz beef mince
    200g/7.05oz pork mince
    500ml/16.8oz tomato/basil sugo/tomato passata
    Extra virgin olive oil
    1 x glass white wine
    1 - 2 x glasses water
    Salt and pepper
    Dried oregano (optional)
    UTENSILS:
    Sharp knife
    Chopping board
    Hand blender
    2 x Medium - large size pot
    Wooden spoon
    Tongs
    Large serving spoon
    METHOD:
    1. Bolognese sauce starts with a delicious foundation - soffrito with a twist! Start by roughly chopping the carrot, onion and celery, and cutting the pancetta into strips.
    2. Mix all chopped up ingredients together and combine well using a hand blender.
    3. Place medium-large size pot on the stove at a low-medium heat.
    4. Once the pot has started to warm, add 4-5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
    5. When the oil has warmed up, add the soffrito and combine with the oil using a wooden spoon.
    6. Leave the soffrito to simmer for around 10 minutes.
    7. Add the beef and pork mince to your Bolognese sauce mix, breaking down the chunks of meat using a wooden spoon as you cook it.
    8. Next you can sprinkle a generous amount of salt along with dried oregano (or an alternate herb of your choice), along with a glass of white wine.
    9. Leave the Bolognese sauce to simmer for approx. minutes, stirring every so often. This should start to bubble as the wine evaporates.
    10. Now it’s time to add the bottle of passata/tomato sauce and a sprinkle of pepper before continuing to mix once again.
    11. The final ingredient is 1 x glass of water. Add this to your Bolognese sauce, mix through and cover, leaving it to cook for 30 minutes.
    12. Stir the sauce every 10 minutes so the meat cooks evenly and nothing sticks to the pan.
    13. Once 30 minutes have passed, uncover and mix well using a wooden spoon.
    VINCENZO’S PLATE TIP: If there is not a lot of moisture in the pan, add one more glass of water to your mixture and bring the cooking temperature down slightly as you want the Bolognese sauce to remain nice and moist.
    14. At this point if there are any thick chunks of meat, break them down again using your wooden spoon before leaving the sauce to simmer once more for 30 minutes, stirring every ten and leaving the lid off.
    15. In the meantime, boil 5L water in a second pot and add a tablespoon of rock salt, leaving it to dissolve.
    16. Once the sauce has finished cooking and your water has boiled, add your choice of pasta to the water and cook according to the packet instructions.
    17. While the pasta is boiling, prepare a large fry pan for mixing!
    18. Place a frypan on the stove at a low heat, and add a generous spoonful (or two!) of Bolognese sauce, covering the base.
    19. Next, add the strained pasta into the pan along with 2 x spoonful’s of pasta water.
    20. Mix this through until the pasta is completely lathered before adding another generous amount of Bolognese sauce and mixing again.
    E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

I had trouble where I live. The wife laughs now cause I am saying Italian ingredients and dishes in my best Vincenzo Italian accent. When she questions me about why, it's like, "what did Vincenzo say?! You want the real experience you have to get the right ingredients and you liked the Carbonara right?!" She loves the Italian cheeses and meats now, so much, there is no argument.

    Im from Bologna, and i can say that this is really good to be made in us, but there is still something not really traditional ; little things but importants. 1 no pancetta or half of that, because originally it wasn't used in Bologna's country sides, people were very very poor (good for the two different meats). 2 vegetables can't be blended, because the texture is important while you fry them together in the "soffritto", blended is more like a paste/sauce, and it gives less flavour. Also in the plate you have to feel little little pieces of sedano and carrots. 3 origano is not really common to use, the best thing to use is rosmary, rosmarino, or alloro al limite. 4 you have to boil that for 2-5 hours, to be perfect. But at the end this is a really good and tasty recipe that i personally recommend, and he is doing an important thing, preserving taste and traditions! complimenti allo chef!

      I was looking for such a comment. An Italian tries to tell me how I make Bolognese Sauce like an Italian and then another Italian comes along and has 5 things that can / must / should be done differently. That's why I've learned to never take advice from an Italian when cooking. He will be 50% wrong and 100% will be done differently than how he explained to you (with the same recipe). I would have amused myself if I hadn't lost the fun in the kitchen after 15 years.

    My big tip for people making this is keep the heat low (especially if you have a gas stove) during the 1 hour of simmering. The first time I cooked it, the sauce burned to the bottom of the pan. Keep checking on it, and add even more water if needed.
    Also, I tried this same recipe without pancetta in the carrot mixture, and with only beef (no pork.) It also worked very well!

We have a local Italian restaurant that makes everything from scratch - the pasta, the sauces, the bread, everything. They have an appetizer on their menu that consists of some Italian bread pieces served on a plate and a small dish of meat sauce on the side. It's delicious. My wife and I order it every time we go. Well this tastes just like that. Can't wait to try it in a pasta dish.

    Vincenzo, I love your Bolognese recipe! I learned to make it when I was young from my grandfather who was actually German American (my grandmother is Italian American so he probably gained inspiration from her😆). I hadn't made it in YEARS and I had seen some of your other videos and followed them and they were absolutely delicious so I trusted your process. Fast forward about 5 years later and I still use your recipe, which is very similar to what my grandfather taught me. I can do it now with my eyes closed but I'm making it tonight and I decided to watch this video again just as a little refresher and to hear your enjoyment for this perfectly delicious dish! Thank you so much for what you do and have a wonderful night!!

    This is the best bolognese recipe I've followed so far.
    Also I've experimented with other types of pasta like rigatoni, penne and farfalle, they work very nicely with the bolognese ragu too. Rigatoni and penne especially because the meat goes inside and between the canals of the pasta, it's beautiful and fun when you bite on them.

    I make bolognese just like this, but my preference is to use fresh rosemary over oregano and I add a little high fat milk too. To save money sometimes I use a couple of teaspoons of white or red wine vinegar instead of wine, it works because it replaces the acid you would miss out on if you don't use wine. You should do recipe for Naples bolognese (Ragu alla Napoletana) which is incredible too.

      Hey, good call on the milk - it gives a richness to the sauce - and very good advice on the vinegar. I think that's the mark of someone who knows how to REALLY cook: it's about improvising. No wine...? ok, we have wine vinegar, just add a little sugar to balance the acid and its as close as you can get.

      Gross! Rosemary is a VERY strong herb, only savory or sage even approach it. Like lavender most people use way too much and ruin a meal. You need the fat to cover the rosemary pungency. Get the The Herbfarm Cookbook by Jerry Traunfeld to learn how to use herbs. I have worn out my first copy and bought a second one.
      Use Dry Vermouth instead of the vinegar, unlike wine it is shelf stable at room temperature for a ling time like vinegar but will not ruin the taste. It is also cheaper than using wine since to you not have to buy a whole bottle to use only half a cup. Try it instead.

    I reckon that by machine-blending the soffritto, the raw vegetables, especially the onion, release too much water (you damage the cell walls much more) which makes them harder to caramelize. Granted it's a lot easier, but it does pay to cut them by hand, I think. Otherwise, nice recipe.
