Eric's Spaghetti Bolognese

Over the summer my mom, my sister, and I went to Boston to meet up with a family friend for the weekend. When we got back we look in the fridge and we see this amazing Bolognese sauce that my dad made over the weekend. When I tasted it I thought that it was amazing and I wanted him to teach me how to make it. So while in Deauville my dad and I made the Bolognese together. I hope you enjoy this recipe, which will transport you to Italy while eating it. 

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds ground beef

1 ½ pounds ground pork

2 stalks celery

3 carrots

3 garlic cloves

1 large onion

¼ cup red wine

5 cups beef broth

1 cup water

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon oregano
Spaghetti (1/4 pound per person)

First pulse the garlic, onions, celery, and carrots in a food processor until finely chopped.

 Then sauté the mixture of onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in a little bit of olive oil until translucent.

 Then add the meat into the pan and cook until the meat is cooked. 

Then deglaze the pan with the red wine and let it cook for a minute until the alcohol is burned up. Then add the water, tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano, and beef broth and let it cook.

Let the sauce simmer for about 4 hours on low heat and cheek regularly to make sure the sauce is not boiling over. After 4 hours the sauce will be done and put it over spaghetti and it is ready to serve.
