Editors Review
Some Bolognese recipes are more complex. This Bolognese sauce is not hard to make & goes well with all kinds of pasta. It can also be used to make lasagna. The carrot cuts down on any acidity & adds a little sweet taste. This one is easy but there is a good depth of flavor and it really knows how to cling to the pasta! Try it you'll love it.Chef
