Tis the season for dinner parties! Friends and family gathering to eat a great meal, drink some wine and maybe play a game or two. What to serve can be a difficult decision because you want to make something that everyone will love that isn’t too complicated and for me, a bolognese is the perfect choice. The bolognese sauce originated in Bologna, Italy, dates back to at least the 5th century and according to Wikipedia a true bolognese contains the following ingredients: beef, pancetta, carrots, onions, celery, tomato paste, red wine and milk. Of course through the years it has changed to include different additions of meat but the basic ingredients remain the same. The recipe that I am about to share with you includes sausage which I think adds lots of flavor. The greatest compliment that I received about this meal was from my friend Paul. Paul is not a foodie and when I served this to him and his wife not only did he eat all of it but had seconds-success…he said it was delicious and his wife Shelly asked for the recipe!
Beautiful Bolognese
