This was unbelievably easy and delicious. If you use the meat as specified in the recipe there is no need to drain the meat. I followed the recipe to a "T", aside from the amount of salt. The family loved it, and it will now be in my weekly rotation. Ina's recipes never fail. Ever.

Like all of Ina's recipes this one is a winner! I too add celery and carrot and even a bit of pancetta. And yes, a bit more time for simmering does deepen the flavour.
Some people have commented on the amount of salt called for in the recipe which made me look back. It looks to be "to taste". Does it not say, "kosher salt and pepper"?

I thought this was delicious!! My kids and my husband loved it. It may replace my traditional Sunday pasta and meatballs. Would even serve it for guests. Thank you Ina

This was amazing! I think making the sauce with wine makes a huge difference!! I never made pasta so delicious! Everyone at home loved it!

This was AMAZING! I saw the show - went to the store and made it that night - huge hit. By far the best sauce I've ever tasted - and it was so easy. Only downside is there were no leftovers! Next time will double the recipe - Cannot wait to make this again!

WOW! This was wonderful and my husband said it was "an exceptional" meal and he would eat this anytime. That's very high praise from my picky guy!

This is a good recipe and quite simple. However, since Bolognese sauce includes celery, onion and carrot I finely dice 1/2 an onion, 1 carrot and 1 celery stalk and saute them in the olive oil before adding the beef. It gives the sauce way more flavor. As far as people's comments about salt in this recipe as well as many of Ina's other recipes, use your own judgement on the amt. of salt you add. You can always add more, but you can't take it out. I agree with other posts about the amount of time simmering the sauce. You have to simmer it far longer to cook out the taste of raw wine and tomato, more like 45 min to an hour. I also add about a tsp. of sugar to cut the acid a bit. I realize this is meant to be a quick sauce for a weeknight, but if you have the extra time use it to simmer the sauce longer before adding the cream.

Very good flavor but a bit too soupy. Next time I will drain the meat.

This was a big hit with the family. I also enjoyed it. The one thing I would probably do next time is to cut back on the salt.

Great hearty comfort dish and so easy...I made the roasted sausage and grapes along with this dish. The family loved it.
