I ended up using two 28-oz cans of tomatoes rather than one can plus water, and thought it was perhaps a bit too saucy for the lasagna, but otherwise was lovely! Would I ruin it if I added garlic? Hopefully it will feel a little lighter then. What fat percentage was the ground beef? Thanks for bringing this amazing recipe to the attention of others, in Marcella's memory. Hi Chef John,I am making this right now. When you make that many changes, I can't really help! We started with vegetable oil, butter, and onion and then added carrots and celery: The recipe stated that you should brown the meat and then add milk which will tenderize the meat and neutralize the acidity from the tomatoes and wine. What were once barely acceptable meals became more than palatable; good food became simply elegant, be it a common peasant stew or a duck confit.
I think some of the comments I read are weird and hilarious (in a bad way), and I never leave comments on anything on the internet but i wanted you to know you have followers that truly appreciate your work and are not insane!

How can I get the "method" for cooking without trying to transcribe the video? It's ALWAYS soft and tender since it's tiny pieces and cook so long!2.

I was always curious why neither of her sauce recipes (this one, and the other well known one with just butter, onion and crushed tomatoes)included any herbs. I did a mashup and used this bolognese in your Christmas Lasagna instead of the store-bought marinara sauce. As in a GOOD way. Change ). When we finally got our kitchen, we decided that it would be one of our first big Italian meals we made in the new place. Thanks! ;) (please see post for garlic answer). That's basically true, although a trace amount of alcohol does remain.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you want me to trust you over Marcella Hazan? not sure if it has anything to do with one spoon of tomato paste that I added.

Delicious.Thanks for the great videosJasmine, Hey Chef John,In your opinion would the flavour profile of this be noticeably altered if I were to use a food processor instead of doing a fine dice for the aromatic vegetables? This looks great I just wanted to ask if dry nutmeg will work if I am unable to grate the fresh stuff? The recipe called for dry white wine, which we thought was a little odd but we weren’t about to question “Italian Julia”.

Yes, it takes time, but after the milk and wine reduction steps, it really is just time and a stir and maybe a splash, so not difficult.
Of all the Bolognese sauce recipes that I have used over the years, this one is by far the very best that I have prepared for pasta meals.
