In 1985 I visited Bologna. The food, out of this world. This recipe is so easy, it is a gem. Last night I substituted an additional carrot and added more celery to create a vegan style bolognese. At the end, to zip the flavor, a jalapeno pepper, minus seeds, was diced into the ragu. Sweet and spicy, just the way it is best. My family had a restaurant for 60 years and that left me with the sense of adventure in the kitchen, just like Mario and his outstanding books. Molot Bene!

Ciao.

I've thrown out all my other recipes. This is the best! I use it with spaghetti. The flavors are delicate and perfectly balanced....not like the heavy tomato recipes you find elsewhere.

We were pretty disappointed with this recipe which took twice the prep time and was not really pleasing to our taste buds. Our typical Bolognese would brown the meet first and not add more water to the trinity which resulted in too much liquid so the meat is more boiled and mushy. The variety of flavors never seemed to meld into a pleasing sauce. To finish eating the remainder of the recipe we may try to add more tomato puree or whole tomatoes and cook the sauce again (or throw it all out. Would never make this recipe again and fortunately we did not use it on guests.

This is a very attractive dish but it lacks any real distinctive flavor. I made it according to the recipe (no variation and it tasted a little bland. Next time, I'll add some spicy Italian sausage to add flavor.
