Categories: Kids, Dairy-Free* omit milk and substitute butter with olive oil, Season: Winter / Autumn Bolognese meat sauce is one of the most famous Italian pasta sauces around the world and is loved by young and old alike. Many shortcuts exist using minced/ground meat and cooking for shorter periods of time as do variations such as using more tomato sauce but this is the traditional recipe made by Bolognese grandmothers. This sauce is used to dress pasta, particularly fresh egg pasta and is layered intermittently with béchamel and pasta in lasagna alla bolognese. I make a large batch and freeze individual portions to reheat as needed. Perfect for impromptu children's meals!
