It is not too cold outside. But it was a strange day. I had so many things to say, but I did not. Sometimes it is too late to say a word. But anyway, I was a kind of sad and wanted to prepare something to warm me up from the inside, a healthy, filling meal. Celebration of life, joy of the little things. Soup prepared with simple ingredients, but with love and affection. Tasty and satisfying. It turned out absolutely delicious. Here is the recipe:
With the first cold raindrops falling outside and the
first tree leaves turning their color into yellow I’ve started thinking about
something nourishing and warm. Sauce Bolognese. This typical Italian sauce,
known throughout the world, has become a kind of generic name for minced meat
and tomato sauce, but most of the families, especially outside Italy, prepare
it according to their taste without being aware of the ingredients in the original
recipe. The taste of the original Bolognese sauce should be kind of creamy and
this is because of the milk, which mellows the acidity of the tomatoes and is a
staple ingredient of the authentic recipe. The sauce requires simmering for
some hours in order to develop its rich and hearty taste. The combination of sautéed
onion, celery and carrots, called in Italian soffritto is also important.
According to people from Bologna, this sauce tastes best served with fresh
pasta like tagliatelle or fettucine.
