Classic Ragu Bolognese

This classic ragù bolognese is a celebration of slow-cooked, rich flavours that define authentic Italian comfort food. Unlike a standard quick sauce, this high-protein version uses a combination of minced beef, veal and salty pancetta, simmered gently with a traditional soffritto of carrots, celery and onions. The addition of whole milk and a long, patient simmer results in a silky, mellow texture that clings perfectly to every strand of pasta.

Ideal for a weekend kitchen project, this hearty meat sauce is designed to be shared during family gatherings or relaxed dinner parties. It is best served with fresh egg tagliatelle, which provides the perfect golden canvas for the savoury sauce. For the most traditional finish, serve with a generous dusting of finely grated Parmesan and a glass of dry red wine.

Ingredients for Classic Ragu Bolognese

  • 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva virgen extra

  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped (about 150g )

  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (about 130g )

  • 2 carrots, peeled, finely chopped (about 110g )

  • 170g beef mince (85% lean)

  • 170g ground veal

  • 90g thinly sliced pancetta, finely chopped

  • 120 ml de vino tinto seco

  • 725ml (about) beef stock or chicken stock, divided

  • 3 cucharadas de pasta de tomate

  • Sal kosher y pimienta negra recién molida

  • 240ml de leche entera

  • 450g tagliatelle or fettuccine (preferably fresh egg)

  • Parmesano finamente rallado (para servir)

Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Saute until soft, 8-10 minutes. Add beef, veal, and pancetta; saute, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until browned, about 15 minutes. Add wine; boil 1 minute, stirring often and scraping up browned bits. Add 600ml stock and tomato paste; stir to blend. Reduce heat to very low and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavours meld, 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring milk to a simmer in a small saucepan; gradually add to sauce. Cover sauce with lid slightly ajar and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until milk is absorbed, about 45 minutes, adding more stock by 1/4-cupfuls to thin if needed. DO AHEAD: Ragu can be made 2 days ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm before continuing.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt; add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until 1 minute before al dente. Drain, reserving 120ml pasta water. Transfer ragu to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pasta and toss to coat. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water by tablespoonfuls if sauce seems dry. Divide pasta among warm plates. Serve with Parmesan.
