Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 medium onion coarsely chucked
  • 2 cloves of garlic peeled, chopped coarsely
  • 1 stalk of celery coarsely chopped.
  • 1 carrot coarsely chopped
  • Ground chuck beef 1 lb
  • 1 28- ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley chopped
  • 8 chopped fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino romano

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Once the olive oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and onion to the skillet and cook for 8 minutes. Sauté the celery, carrot, and garlic for 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high, and then add the ground beef. Cook the ground beef for about 10 minutes, stirring often and breaking up any lumps. Cook the sauce over medium-low heat until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper. It will take about 1/2 hour. End the bolognese by adding Pecorino Romano.
