Bolognese Recipes

Bolognese recipes are deeply personal and labors of love. These recipes take time and patience, but they are worth the wait.

Traditional Bolognese recipes begin with a soffritto. An Italian soffritto is typically onion, carrot, and celery which are finely chopped and reduced. These ingredients can differ from region to region but give the dish a lovely depth and aromatic quality. Meat such as pork bones, beef, pancetta, or bacon are added to soffritto along with tomatoes or tomato paste and simmered at length to create the dish we know and adore.

So, take your time on a weekend, grab your favorite Barilla pasta, roll up your sleeves, pour yourself a beverage of choice, and enjoy the process.
