Bolognese

Bolognese

From the Kitchen of the Pessetto Family

1 large carrot

1 medium onion

1 stalk of celery

1 pound ground beef

2 Tbs. butter

1 large can (28 oz.) tomato sauce

Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste

Very finely dice carrot, onion, and celery in food processor, blender, or by hand. Melt butter in pot and add diced vegetables. Cook for about five minutes in the butter over medium heat. Add beef and cook with vegetables until completely brown. Add the tomato sauce and stir well. Simmer for about two hours and add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Typically the longer the sauce cooks the better the result.

* Bolognese makes a great sauce to use in lasagna.
