  • 300 g Pork mince
  • 300 g Veal mince or beef

  • 200 ml Red wine
  • Oregano

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 pinches Rock salt
  • 5 L Water

Instructions

  • Break off the celery leaves and put them aside.
  • In preparation for the spaghetti Bolognese, cut up the carrot, celery, onion and pancetta and mix it together in the food processer.
  • Put the saucepan on the stove at a medium heat and add some extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add the mixture that you just made from the food processor and stir well. Cook this for 5 minutes until it becomes nice and golden.
  • Add in both types of mince and stir well. Break the mince down using a wooden spoon and blend it in well with the other ingredients.
  • Add salt, pepper and oregano and mix it through as well.
  • When 80% of the mince has turned brown, add 200ml the red wine and cook it until it evaporates.
  • Chop up the basil and celery leaves and add it to the Spaghetti Bolognese sauce. Mix it through…and take time to smell the beautiful aroma...
  • Add 3 tablespoons of tomato paste into the mix and stir it well.
  • After around 5 minutes you will see that the paste has made a liquid. At this point at the beef stock.
  • Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook the Spaghetti Bolognese for 3 hours.
  • Add 5L of water to a large pot and bring it to the boil.
  • Throw in a few pinches of rock salt, mix it through and add your choice of pasta.
  • Cook the pasta for your Spaghetti Bolognese dish until it is al dente, and then strain it well and add it to the saucepan of sauce!
  • Mix it together well.
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
