In short: While many claim to know the definitive version, the original Italian recipe for Ragù Bolognese remains lost to time. This video demonstrates a traditional approach to this versatile sauce, perfect for pasta, lasagne, or crusty bread.

This method explores a rich, slow-cooked sauce using a blend of ground beef and pork. The process involves sweating finely diced onions, celery, and carrots before adding the meats and seasoning with salt and pepper.

A key step involves reducing dry white wine by two-thirds before incorporating tomato paste and milk. The sauce then simmers gently for two to three hours, or can be cooked in a preheated 140ºC (275ºF) oven for three hours, with water or chicken stock added as needed to maintain consistency.
