Pasta Bolognese

Ingredients for Pasta Bolognese

• 2 (800g) cans whole tomatoes with juice or crushed tomatoes

• 45ml di olio d'oliva

• 170g pancetta or 6 slices bacon, finely chopped

• 110g pork mince (not lean)

• 110g beef mince chuck (not lean)

• 110g ground veal

• 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 150g )

• 1 carrot, finely chopped (about 240ml )

• 240ml dry red wine

• 240ml double cream

• 1 cucchiaino di sale kosher

• 1 cucchiaino di pepe nero macinato fresco

• 450g small pasta such as orecchiette or rotini

• Garnish: Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

If using whole tomatoes, in blender or food processor, purée tomatoes with juice. Set aside.

In large, heavy pot over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add pancetta and sauté until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add beef, pork, and veal and sauté, breaking up meat with back of spoon, until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onion and carrot and sauté until vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.

Stir in red wine and simmer, scraping up browned bits stuck to bottom of pan, until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, cream, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and brick-red in colour, approximately 30 minutes.

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until almost tender. Drain well and toss with sauce. Serve with grated cheese.
