Hello my precious,<\/span><\/p>\n

I know, I know. The title may be a bit over the top but I bet I totally have your intention now, right? Great, that’s what I intended! \ud83d\ude00 I call myself a pretty skilled cooking girl when it comes to Italian cuisine. Background is I absolutely looove Italian cooking since I was very small and spend some time in Italy on vacation where I enjoyed the beautiful way of living. Second, I made some very good friends in Japan when I studied there with four Italian girl + guys and they. knew. how. to cook. Seriously, all they made was amazing and the taught me some of the little secrets of Italian food that I want to share with you! \ud83d\ude42  Plus it’s Sunday, the very day to indulge into some meditative cooking. I just made this yesterday and it turned out so yummy I wanted to share \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Soo I especially have a great heart for all kinds of pasta; I could eat pasta in its variety almost everyday, and I inheritaged this love for noodles from my mom who is a BIG time pasta fan. I think I had 80% pasta in my childhood and maybe 10% rice and 10% potatoes, so it’s kinda self-explanatory \ud83d\ude09 I especially always loved the classic Bolognese sauce – but unfortunately, for a long time, I wasn’t able to hit the mark on that. I of course knew the ingredients (it’s not that hard, to be honest, most could tell without looking at a recipe) but somehow, it never tasted right<\/i>. What followed was a long period of trial + error but with persistence and some good advice from my Italian friends I was finally able to get a sauce nearly to perfection<\/i>. (That sounds so dramatic but I really really really love pasta!) Since most of you seemed to like my recipe posts I thought of something new to share with you guys! So here comes my personal advice to get you closer to the most best Bolognese sauce you can imagine.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
#1 TAKE YOUR TIME<\/u><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Actually, Bolognese is not an ordinary sauce, it’s a ragout. And a ragout needs to cook and simmer and cook and simmer for a long time to develop all the distinguishing flavors of the ingredients. A really good Bolognese cannot be cooked in 30 minutes! You can of course make a pretty nice sauce in that amount of time but you will never hit the mark on that, believe me. Never. This was one of my biggest mistakes in the beginning because I usually threw my sauce together in 20 minutes and wondered why it didn’t taste what I intended it to taste like. I usually heat everything up and cook\/boil it for about 5 minutes, then set to low heat and let it simmer for up to three hours. 3-4 hours are the recommended time for this kind of dish, but I personally think two hours are fine too. It just gets better with that extra hour if you have the time, of course.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#2 COOKING IS NOT COOKING<\/u><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another mistake that I made initially, was, that I tried to make the sauce in a single big pot. Actually, a bowl and a frypan work in different ways although they are both very similar to each other. However, different things are happening to your food depending on whether you use a frypan or a pot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So here’s what you’ll do: All ingredients that are not tomatoes or spices need to be fried first. It makes a huge different if you fry or cook your meat! I usually start with frying the minced meat until it gets a nice brownish color. Then I add onions (lots of onions!) and fry until they get translucent. Next comes the vegetable – always from hard to soft, meaning: Hard vegetables go in first, softer vegetables follow after some time. With this strategy you avoid being your carrots too hard or your peppers too soft. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I usually use lots of carrots cut in very small pieces – you can leave the carrots out if you want, but then your sauce might miss that almost not-noticable sweet undetone so I highly recommend using carrots. Also very essential is celery because it develops a special Bolognese-typical flavor when simmering for a long time (A cook once told me you can absolutely not make a Bolognese without celery^^). I don’t often have celery at hand, so I mostly use carrots and mushrooms because I love what the mushrooms are doing to the flavors of the sauce. Garlic always comes last! If your garlic turns brown it is very likely to get bitter so only stirfry for about a minute or even less. Just keep a close eye on the garlic, if you see the slightest change then it’s time to move from frypan to a pot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#3 PATIENCE<\/u><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Catching up with #1, patience is the key. If you think your sauce is good – let it simmer for an extra 30 minutes, it will just get better with time, believe me! I’m pretty sure you could let it simmer all day but in my case, my pot tends to burn my sauce after 2-3 hours due to the lack of liquid in the sauce after such a long time of cooking.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wow, that turned out longer than expected! Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t have make a food blog instead of what I have hear because I looove to cook. On the other hand, I don’t really invent new recipes, I just try to make the ones I know a bit better. To get this done with, I’ll leave you with my favorite Bolognese recipe \ud83d\ude42 Please enjoy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Makes 2-3 liters (very very big bowl. Possibly serves 6 people with big appetite).<\/u><\/div>\n
I only make big batches of this sauce since it takes so much time until it’s done.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
1 pound minced meat (preferably beef)<\/div>\n
1 kilo cut tomatoes (I use the cans since they have much more liquid than freshly cut tomatoes)<\/div>\n
1-2 cloves of garlic<\/div>\n
1-2 big onions<\/div>\n
2-3 carrots<\/div>\n
4-5 mushrooms<\/div>\n
celery (should be about the same amount as the carrots when cut)<\/div>\n
sugar (because your sauce could tend to get a bit sour, just try and adjust if necessary)<\/div>\n
pinch of salt<\/div>\n
lots of black crushed pepper<\/div>\n
lots of (fresh, if at hand) basil<\/div>\n
150ml chicken\/vegetable broth (if you use beef broth use less or it could get very salty!)<\/div>\n
150ml red wine <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fry the minced meat, onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic in a frypan on high heat until everything gets golden brown. Shove in the broth and red wine (by doing so, the things that stick to your frypan, and really help in developing flavours, will loose due to the liquid and we just want that!). Cook lighty for about a minute and transfer everything into a big cooking pot. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone, then add the tomatoes, bit of sugar, pinch of salt, lots of black pepper and basil. Cook everything on high heat for about 5 minutes, then set to low heat and let that thing simmer for 2-3 hours. Occassionally stir and check if your sauce doesn’t burn to your cooking pot. I love to add a little bit of broth and red wine at the very end so that these flavors will be more dominant in the end result. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days or simply eat leftovers on toast! \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wow, this went to a really long post, I’m sorry! I hope you somehow enjoyed this post, I put all my heart and love into it! Hope y’all have a splendid weekend!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lots of love,<\/div>\n

And a ragout needs to cook and simmer and cook and simmer for a long time to develop all the distinguishing flavors of the ingredients. A really good Bolognese cannot be cooked in 30 minutes! You can of course make a pretty nice sauce in that amount of time but you will never hit the mark on that, believe me. Never. This was one of my biggest mistakes in the beginning because I usually threw my sauce together in 20 minutes and wondered why it didn’t taste what I intended it to taste like. I usually heat everything up and cook\/boil it for about 5 minutes, then set to low heat and let it simmer for up to three hours. 3-4 hours are the recommended time for this kind of dish, but I personally think two hours are fine too. It just gets better with that extra hour if you have the time, of course. #2 COOKING IS NOT COOKING Another mistake that I made initially, was, that I tried to make the sauce in a single big pot. Actually, a bowl and a frypan work in different ways although they are both very similar to each other. However, different things are happening to your food depending on whether you use a frypan or a pot. So here’s what you’ll do: All ingredients that are not tomatoes or spices need to be fried first. It makes a huge different if you fry or cook your meat! I usually start with frying the minced meat until it gets a nice brownish color. Then I add onions (lots of onions!) and fry until they get translucent. Next comes the vegetable – always from hard to soft, meaning: Hard vegetables go in first, softer vegetables follow after some time. With this strategy you avoid being your carrots too hard or your peppers too soft.  I usually use lots of carrots cut in very small pieces – you can leave the carrots out if you want, but then your sauce might miss that almost not-noticable sweet undetone so I highly recommend using carrots. Also very essential is celery because it develops a special Bolognese-typical flavor when simmering for a long time (A cook once told me you can absolutely not make a Bolognese without celery^^). I don’t often have celery at hand, so I mostly use carrots and mushrooms because I love what the mushrooms are doing to the flavors of the sauce. Garlic always comes last! If your garlic turns brown it is very likely to get bitter so only stirfry for about a minute or even less. Just keep a close eye on the garlic, if you see the slightest change then it’s time to move from frypan to a pot. #3 PATIENCE Catching up with #1, patience is the key. If you think your sauce is good – let it simmer for an extra 30 minutes, it will just get better with time, believe me! I’m pretty sure you could let it simmer all day but in my case, my pot tends to burn my sauce after 2-3 hours due to the lack of liquid in the sauce after such a long time of cooking. Wow, that turned out longer than expected! Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t have make a food blog instead of what I have hear because I looove to cook. On the other hand, I don’t really invent new recipes, I just try to make the ones I know a bit better. To get this done with, I’ll leave you with my favorite Bolognese recipe \ud83d\ude42 Please enjoy! Makes 2-3 liters (very very big bowl. Possibly serves 6 people with big appetite). I only make big batches of this sauce since it takes so much time until it’s done. 1 pound minced meat (preferably beef) 1 kilo
