Just wanna say that discovering your website last year has completely changed my diet and lifestyle.
I discovered your recipes because I had met a lovely lady and wanted to cook for her to impress her and this was the one I landed on. It turned out amazing and was probably the best thing I've ever cooked.
Not only did this meal impress the lady (now my fiance) but it's inspired a love of cooking that I never knew I had.
Thank you Julia! So much for your amazing recipes and inspiring me to change my lifestyle to one filled with amazing home cooked goodness.

I just watched another recipe where he uses wine have you ever done this recipe with wine I never use wine but I was willing to try it until I saw yours and I’m wondering if you feel wine is OK to use also

WOW ! Ich mache es fast genau so . Zwiebeln, Möhren und Sellerie zu gleichen Teilen in den Mixer . Dadurch vergrößert sich die Oberfläche und gibt viel mehr Geschmack . Im Original gehört noch Panzetta, also geräucherter Bauchspeck dazu. Zucker ist ganz wichtig, um den Tomaten die Säure zu nehmen . Gehackte UND passierte Tomaten zu nehmen, ist sehr clever .Wichtig ist eine lange Kochzeit, dass sich die Aromen entwickel und das Gemüse schön weich wird . Basilikum und Oregano gehören da eigentlich nicht rein und Sahne erst vor dem Servieren . Im Land der Pasta ist SPAGHETTI Bolognese unbekannt . Dieses Ragout braucht eine Nudel mit Fläche, wie Tagliatelle oder zumindest Linguini . Ich persönlich streue niemals Käse über diese tolle Sauce - der zerstört den genialen Geschmack und der Geruch stößt mich ab . Ansonsten - CHAPEAU !!!

I noticed there is no wine (red or white) in this recipe. Wine adds a wonderful fruitiness and a bit of sweetness to the bolognese sauce.

[anahoeree]

Però in Italia la salsa bolognese, che noi chiamiamo ragù, è una salsa per le fettuccine, non per gli spaghetti.

[marvinharms]

Spaghetti is a no. Small meat, big pasta. Pasta should Mach the sauce. No oil at the end if the plate once concum

[enzopodrecca]

nel ragù alla bolognese non si deve mai mettere l'aglio non capisco perchè fuori dall'Italia tutti si ostinano ad usarlo

No garlic like you said and no herbs in the original either, you add the wine before the tomatoes, it has to be done that way or it isn't right .This isn't traditional, no black peppee either.Also would cook for 4 hours really but at least 3.Never use sugar.Also need to cook the pasta in the sauce.Its not the worst ive seen but Italians would not be happy.
