Spag Bol

[Vagus]

Ive not made this for ages, at least a couple of years,  but I saw someone on tv eating it and decided to make one. 
I use Anthony Carlucios (spelling probably wrong) recipe and it didn't disappoint..pork mince and beef mince, red wine and tomato purée, no tinned tomatoes near it. I also used fresh tagliatelle.

We gorged ourselves on it and I remembered why I used to use this recipe 😋🍝

Shouldn't that be 'tag bol'? 🍽

the red wine matters, the stock matters - the fresher the better, a touch of bacon helps.

I'm not fussy.  Many of my Bolognese sauces probably shouldn't be called Bolognese.

Actually the Italians don't see it as a natural dish, rather an 'import', just as the Chinese see Chow Mein as a Californian creation.

Surprisingly good.  (You just need to add some pasta):

Chow Mein was imported into the USA by the Chinese; Chop Suey went the other way.

I love cooking Bolognese.  I cook it long and slow in a huge saucepan. Freeze most of it and reheat the rest for next day's dinner.  These days we have it with spiral pasta as the oldsters can manage it better.

I don't care who imports what or calls it whatever, this was delicious. Same with chow mien and chop suey, tasty and delicious food is just that...tasty and delicious.

[Vagus]

Indeed Barry, long and slow is defo the way. And I can see why spiral pasta is easier for your oldsters, OH ended up splattered with sauce 😱

It is a peculiar fact that very fat people are messy eaters, not because they are greedy eaters but because they are further away from the table.

When I was enormous I had to wear a big tea towel like a bib whenever we had spaghetti Bolognese 😳

[DTCwordfan]

and now the table has to wear the t-towel???

[barry1010]

I am a very tidy eater these days 😊

Bolognese isn't a tomato sauce. I've always used Anna del Conte's recipe which includes milk.

Princes do a very tasty plant based lentil and mushroom Bolognese.  It's suitable for vegans, too.
