Hey everybody, first and foremost welcome (back) to my channel and a big thank you for all your support! 

Today, we're diving into the heart of Italy with a cherished recipe of many families in Italy: Bolognese sauce. 

There's something truly special about preparing a dish that's been passed down through generations. It's not just about the flavors; it's about the memories, the love, and the joy it brings to those gathered around the table. The Bolognese sauce is no exception, it’s actually one of the Italian staples!

Picture this: tender minced beef simmering away with aromatic herbs, the richness of white wine, the creaminess of milk, and the sweetness of carrots and onions, all coming together in a symphony of flavors. It's a labor of love that's worth every moment spent in the kitchen.

Every chef, either a domestic or professional one - from my mom, to Marcella Hazan, Jamie Oliver and lastly, yours truly - has her or his version, that special touch of their heart and soul that makes the recipe mouthwateringly delicious.

I am leaning towards tradition when it comes to Bolognese sauce and I like making it in a larger pot, so that the ingredients have enough space to intertwine their flavors, but also to avoid excess water when it’s all cramped up. Also, a note to take: never ever cover your sauce while cooking, as the vapor dripping from the cover will ruin the flavor.

There is one pseudo secret ingredient of every well made sauce: time. This isn't a dish to rush. No, sir. We're talking about a slow, gentle simmer for at least three hours, allowing all those flavors to mingle and marry into perfection. Trust me, the wait will be worth it.

So, grab a glass of wine, put on your favorite apron, and let's embark on this culinary adventure together. Whether you're cooking for yourself, your family, or a gathering of friends, this homemade Bolognese sauce is sure to delight and impress everyone’s palate.

And remember, the beauty of home cooking lies not just in the end result, but in the journey itself. So, savor every moment, every aroma, and every taste, and let's create some unforgettable memories together.

Buon appetito, my friends! Let's get cooking. 🌿☀️
