My neighbor is Italian - he's the first generation born here. He makes the BEST Sunday gravy and has shared a jar of it with us several times. I'm going to jar him up a quart of this to pay him back.

I just booked a reservation at an Italian restaurant here in Davidson, NC. Pappardelle Bolognese is on the menu. The pappardelle is house made with spinach.

Yep. We had a fundraiser last night. A dinner cruise on Lake Norman. Monday I need to be at Duke for a few days so we’re hanging here until tomorrow when we will head up to Durham.

Nice. But I’ll bet the trips down get a little tiring. Hope all goes great.

Usually I don’t mind. This one is more tedious as I am getting a three day inpatient treatment that will make me feel like shit.

Damn Italian restaurant didn’t even have the bolognese. I was looking at an old menu on Google. I had an overly salty chicken dish.

Well, you do live in NYC. No shortage there. The spinach pasta was a bad omen.

You know, I’ve never really cared for bolognese. The flavor is good, but everything is minced and reduced too much. I love a penne paste with a chunky tomato sauce with big ol’ chunks of onion, garlic, sausage, peppers, chicken, asparagus, etc… I like the penne ant the tomatoes binding everything together, but each and every bite is a little different… I have some Italian sausage and chicken in the fridge, I think that might be tonight’s dinner…

Made this last night. I cut some corners for time’s sake, but in my defense it wasn’t raining.

Looks great. How was it? Did you get the white bolognese recipe I texted you?

No you probably have my old phone number. I had to get a new one last April.
It was great I just had it again for lunch and am freezing enough for another meal for the three of us.

I used 2lbs of ground beef and a pound of sweet Italian sausage.
Bought pre-diced onion, carrot, and celery. Used 2x28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes. Milk per normal, and this recipe called for white wine.

Yeah, I buy the precut mirepoix too. I don't think it much matters whether you use red or white wine, it's such a small part of the ingredients.
