This isn’t your Nonna’s bolognese; or maybe it is, we don’t know your Nonna! But this is the Home Movies Bolognese, Alison’s Bolognese, dare we say soon-to-be Your New Favorite Bolognese? Ground beef and pork simmer for hours with tomato, fennel, and onions—there will be no carrots (or celery) here—until a rich, luxurious and deeply satisfying ragu comes together. While long, squiggly, fusilli col buco is fun, so is rigatoni or bucatini, but there are no rules: feel free to toss this sauce with whatever pasta shape speaks to you.
And for dessert, please don’t forget Sweet Enough is now available wherever books are sold!
