bolognese spaghetti spaghettisauce

Instructions

1 Mince 3 cloves garlic and brunoise (fine dice) 1 stick of celery, 1 onion, and 1
whole carrot or 4 baby carrots
2 Heat a large dutch oven or pot over medium to high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil.
You do not want to use a cast iron pan/pot for this recipe. The acid in the
tomatoes is not good to cook for a long time in cast iron.
3 Place the diced vegetables in with the olive oil and sautee for 4-5 minutes.
4 Add the ground beef and sausage to the vegetables. Ground up the meat while
cooking over medium to high heat. Drain any excess grease.
5 Add crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the meat/vegetables mixture. Stir
until combined.
6 Cover with a lid and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let cook for 1 hour,
stirring occasionally.
7 About 15 minutes before your bolognese sauce is done cooking, start a large pot
of water for the spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
8 Top the spaghetti with bolognese sauce or stir the sauce and spaghetti together.
Serve.
