Ingredients • 2 rashers of smoked streaky bacon, the best quality you can afford • 2 medium onions • 2 cloves of garlic • 2 carrots • 2 sticks of celery • olive oil • 2 heaped teaspoons dried oregano • 500g good-quality minced beef, pork, or (even better!) a mixture of the two • 2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper • a small bunch of fresh basil • 100g Parmesan cheese Finely slice the bacon • Peel and finely chop the onions, garlic, carrots and celery – don’t worry about technique, just chop away until fine • Place a large pan on a medium to high heat Add 2 lugs of olive oil, your sliced bacon and the oregano and cook and stir until the bacon is lightly golden • Add the veg to the pan and stir every 30 seconds for around 7 minutes or until softened and lightly coloured • Stir in the minced meat breaking it up with your spoon and brown • Add the tinned tomatoes • Fill one of the empty tins with water and add to the pan • Stir in a good pinch of salt and pepper • Pick the basil leaves and place in the fridge for later • Finely chop the basil stalks and stir into the pan • Bring to the boil • Turn the heat down and simmer with a lid on and slightly askew for 1 hour, stirring every now and again • Take the lid off and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally • Keep an eye on the sauce as it cooks, and if you think it’s starting to dry out, add a splash of water • Remove the Bolognese sauce from the heat • Finely grate the Parmesan and stir half into the sauce • Tear and stir in any larger basil leaves, keeping the smaller ones for sprinkling over before serving • Mix up, have a taste, and season with a little more salt and pepper if needed – congratulations! You now have a beautiful Bolognese sauce • At this stage you can allow it to cool, bag it up and freeze it, or keep it warm while you cook your pasta :-) http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=250292 The first lasagna in my blog is made based on the bolognese sauce so you can check out pictures if you like  ! Enjoy if you make it, it really is amazing | ||

The noodles cannot work with the sauce as well, if they are oily / covered with butter... never do it T_T; Usually you would make a sauce and put the pasta in there. It won't be sticky. | ||

You feeling silly? Nobody´s talking about spoonfuls of sugar. You add merely a pinch to round off the taste. It doesn´t become sweet by that. If you go for intense tomato flavor, especially if you don´t have the time to let it simmer 3 hours, then you need something sweet, ain´t no way around it. Next you tell that dough needs no salt? | ||

if your sauce is too acidic, you need to add more onions or carrots early on. sugar does not belong in a sauce, period. it is gross. | ||

I disagree with his part about pancetta, though. While its superior and I would usually always go for highest quality if you cook dinner for friends, there is good bacon. The recipe I posted is from Jamie Oliver and its a brilliant bolognese, using streaked bacon of good quality. At least my personal opinion. My dad is Italian and uses pancetta as well, but I think his sauce isn't superior to "mine" . I guess matter of taste! What I feel though is... some people use parmegiano grana padano instead of parmegiano reggiano and I think that really makes a difference if you serve it. The taste is different, (good for both, but different). Also; Hawk knows his shit! | ||

and yeah, i think for most muricans, when you say bacon, they're going to get prepackaged bs, which is my opposition to it. good streaked bacon from a butcher is definitely a different story! ive always rolled with armegiano reggiano, so i couldnt comment on that | ||
