How do you make yours?

There are many ways to make a nice Bolognese; from the authentic to the jazzed up, anything goes in.

Does anyone make the authentic way any more, or is the out of the jar option just too convenient.

" always with bacon, occasionally with red wine."

From scratch, it isn't hard (although it takes time to cook). I started putting milk into it instead of wine. Generally praised.

I do my version from scratch but it is certainly not a traditional bolognese sauce

I find them sickly and tangy.

What ingredients do you use? Do you make a veg base?

That's what I like about making my own. I can add something different and change the taste.

I use a basic tomatoe sauce jar, which would be rank on it's own but I add bacon, red wine, onion and carrots. 5% fat British mince always.

It's a quick meal which have once every 2 weeks roughly.

Easier and far tastier to make your own.

But it needs a little time to sit and let the flavours blend.

Served with freshly grated parmigiano.

That's basically what Bolognese is, although Italians don't use much tomato.

It's supposed to be slow cooked for an hour or so.

The traditional way (well how my grandmother taught me). Even down to the sofrito. I've not had it for ages now due to my inability to eat a normal sized portion of fresh pasta. Sad times.

Yes. The base is a soffritto, made from very finely diced carrots, onion, celery and garlic. I use that base.

I use brown pasta because it doesn't affect my stomach like white does, and have a small portion. I like the sauce in a jacket potato too.

I’ve actually stopped browning the mince. I make the sauce and then put the mince in and it tastes so much better!

Yeah the texture too. I tend to use a lot of veg though, the mince is just to pad it out a bit.

I don't know anyone except myself, my sister's neighbour and a couple of people on here who use pork and beef mince. I found some mixed in already in Morrisons once. The only problem was the fat content was higher.

No, lean quality mince, onions, toms, puree or passata, provencale herbs and garlic, sometimes a little red wine. I don't use carrots or bacon, but I do like mushrooms and green pepper, and my secret ingredient is paprika, it gives a depth of flavour.

If you fry the minced beef first, until all the water has evaporated and the fat starts to render (crackle and spit), it cara_elises the beef, giving it a real beefy flavour. Season and add finely diced veg (onion, garlic, celery, carrots), cook until soft, before adding tomatoes/passata. Thicken with purée and stir in plenty of fresh chopped basil.

I've not tried paprika; I use it with chicken quite often.

I use an Italian herb mix because I love the smell and taste.
