Traditional RAGU’ is a very thick, rich, and tasty sauce that requires about 3 – 4 hours of preparation. The tomato meat sauce of this recipe instead takes less time to prepare but is full in taste, which makes it practical for everyday, faster cooking.
This tomato meat sauce is excellent as a dressing for pasta (e.g., spaghetti, fettuccine or pappardelle.) Add the tomato meat sauce to the freshly drained pasta, top with grated parmigiano cheese, toss, and serve at once. The meat sauce is also the perfect complement for lasagna Bolognese.
To add taste to the tomato meat sauce, use a mixture of different ground meats, such as half beef and half pork. The addition to the tomato meat sauce of a tiny amount of milk helps reduce the acidity of the tomatoes if they are not ripe enough.
