Delicious Homemade Spaghetti Bolognese

This homemade spaghetti bolognese recipe is one of my favourite Italian dish: this pasta is always a great success with family and guests, and it is one of the easiest meal I have ever prepared. Once you’ve mixed all the ingredients in the pot, you just cook the sauce over a very low heat during a couple of hours, just like a stew. And you can use the leftover sauce, if there is, to make a lasagna.

This recipe will definitely show you that cooking a great meal can be very easy!!

 

I like it because:

  • There is a lot of vegetables: carrots, celery and onions, and cook like a stew, so the sauce has much flavour.
  • It is a perfect dish for a big dinner with friends or family. You can prepare the sauce the day before and warm while you cook the pasta, this way the sauce has even more flavour … and you can enjoy your guests.

Tricks:

  • Bacon taste much better if you buy it in a dairy, and the price is almost equal to the price of an industrial pack.
  • You use the same quantity of each ingredients, 7,1 ounces, so it is very easy to remember.
