Grandma’s Italian Bolognese Sauce

My Grandma Bolognese Sauce recipe, for all my friends!

Once you have had a truly good Bolognese sauce, it will become one of your go-to recipes.

Bolognese is a very versatile sauce: it can dress all shapes and sizes pasta, whether it’s over fresh tagliatelle, dried spaghetti, or baked rigatoni.

This recipe makes enough sauce to feed a hungry crowd, but it also freezes well if you’d like to enjoy it in smaller quantities.
