Delicious Easy Italian Bolognese Sauce and the magic ingredients

There are 5 ingredients which give this pasta sauce a unique sweet flavour and more richness and will make sure that you make this sauce again and again and again.

• Butter. I love the flavour of butter. There is not much butter in that sauce but enough for giving a unique flavouring.
• Brown sugar. The brown sugar combined with the butter and olive oil makes a great combination for a caramel like flavour.
• Balsamic vinegar. Added Balsamic not only enhances the taste and sweetness of strawberries and peaches it also brings out the flavour of tomatoes
• Red wine. Alcohol is always a good option to drown your sorrow but no in my recipe it just adds some richness to our sauce. The alcohol will vaporise during the cooking process so there will only stay the delicious aroma. If you don’t want to use red wine just leave it out.
• Pasta water. Pasta water is the one thing I always add to all of my pasta sauces. Thanks to Jamie Oliver . The water contains starch from the pasta you cooked previously in it and that lets the sauce further thicken and gives it a viscid texture.

How to cook my Pasta Sauce .

• First we will start with melting butter and olive oil in a large deep pan. The added butter gives the sauce more flavour.
• When the oil and butter is melted add the diced onion and minced garlic, brown sugar, salt and balsamic vinegar and cook everything on medium heat until the onions are caramelised and soft.
• pour the red wine (or some more balsamic vinegar) into the pan, deglazing the onions
• add the minced beef, break the meat into small pieces and cook everything for another 10 minutes tiring every so often.
• Pour the tomato sauce into the pan and pour some pasta water into the glasses to get the rest of the tomato sauce swamped out and add that to your sauce too. Give the sauce a good stir and let it cook for about half an hour or until the sauce is thickened.
• Season everything with some salt, fresh black pepper and more brown sugar if needed.

How to serve.

The best way to serve my easy Italian bolognese sauce is over some pasta al dente of course and with lots of Italian parmesan cheese. It doesn’t matter if its spaghetti, penne or any other kind of pasta. I like noodles made of carrots or zucchini too its a good alternative to all the pasta carbs.

Wonderful and aromatic! That’s what all my family members say about my Italian recipe and it definitely brings some dolce vita into our kitchen ;-).
