Perfect Bolognese step by step

1. Prep all your ingredients for quick access..
2. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet..
3. Add the onions and garlic until the onions turn translucent..
4. Add the carrots and celery and fry for a few minutes..
5. It’s now time for the mince. Gradually break it up with a wooden spoon..
6. It’s okay if there are larger chunks. They will taste good..
7. Keep the heat on. We are now in the important phase of making the Perfect Bolognese: patience..
8. Watch at the edges and the liquid gaps between the meat and vegetables, we are looking for SEPARATION..
9. When you see that the fat and liquid is separating, it’s time to add the wine and the herbs..
10. Turn the heat to a low light and again play the patient game, looking for SEPARATION..
11. When we have our second separation, add the purée and tin of tomatoes..
12. Low light. Patience. This step can take some time. The longer, the closer your Bolognese will tend toward perfection..
13. The sauce will start to congeal together. Dark orange oils will appear. The meat will take on a dark orange glaze. You might need to add water every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist. But not TOO moist..
14. Taste, season as appropriate while boiling your linguine. Why linguine? Greater surface area, more sauce adsorption..
15. Serve..
16. Bonus: if you can resist, don’t eat on day 1. Put it in the fridge and have the next day. Day 1 Bolognese sauce is great but Day 2... Day 2 is perfection..
