Description
This simple and classic Bolognese pasta sauce from Giada is easy to make and so rewarding. Who doesn’t love a big bowl of meat sauce over pasta?
Ingredients
1/4 c olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 lb ground chuck
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1/4 c Italian leaf parsley, chopped
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 c fresh grated Pecorino or Parmesan
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil until almost smoking. Add the onion and garlic and turn heat down to medium and cook until the onions become very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the celery and carrot and saute for 5 minutes.
Raise heat to high and add the ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley and basil and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens – about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve over pasta of your choice with more black pepper and grated cheese.
