This recipe looks very tasty.
Just a Thought, what about trying stew meat in place of the ground chuck ??? I’m looking for an actual italian meat sauce recipe that uses stew meat in place of hamburger beef.. I got the recipe many, many years ago from an actual italian husband and wife. I cannot find it anymore, amongst all my moves now living in Edmonton AB Canada. This recipe I had, is a least 33 yrs old.. I’ll try your recipe with stew meat…..and hopefully it will be the very close…..
Thanx for posting this recipe….

Would appreciate any info if a recipe as such surfaces or that is even close…… Thanx Again…

I have been making Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese forever and loved it. However, that recipe is being tabled as your bolognese is the BEST! thanks

Bolognese is such an art form. I’ll have to give this a try!

Wow, I must say I love how you wrote about the sauce, and your struggles with finding just the right meat sauce. You make me want to get in my kitchen right now and make up some more sauce. I make a sauce that is very similar, but I have never tried nutmeg in there. I may do that now.

We think alike! Not only do I wish for an Italian grandmother to teach me secret sauces, but I also agree that one should always make enough sauce to feed an army (or a husband for a week). This looks like a wonderful sauce to have on hand.

PC: Sounds great! I’m going to try it this week. Yum!

I have a suggetion you might want to try, too. Along with sauteeing the ingredients you mention above, I add the chopped tomatoes to the the olive oil, and cook them for about five minutes, before proceeding with the sauce. This gives a stronger tomato taste to the finished sauce.
