Rainy day Bolognese

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.

Mik

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

(I won’t tell you how glorious mine was. That would be cruel)

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.

Mik

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

jon-nyc

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.

Mik

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.
