Pasta Bolognese

Today, you’ll add another recipe to your repertoire of pasta sauces. Pasta Bolognese (or pasta Bologna-style). That, however, would not be pasta made with cheap lunch meet slices. Bologna is a region in Northern Italy where they enjoy this version of pasta with meat sauce.

Featuring ground meat in the sauce is an American adaptation. You’ll create your own Italian homemade Italian sausage right on the stovetop. You can trust this sausage, as you know everything that’s in it.
