Bolognese Pappardelle

Hi Foodie friend,

So what is Bolognese sauce?

Bolognese is a chunky sauce made with minced beef, garlic and herbs and enough tomatoes for flavor.

I used ground turkey, you can use any ground meat and pasta, that fits your taste.

It’s not to often that you find a recipe that your whole family likes. when you do WIN- WIN.

Not only is it a family favorite it’s a crowd pleasing meal on a budget add a salad, some

crusty french bread and you have dinner special enough for weekend get together’s and easy enough for weeknight family meals.

This is a great go to meat sauce when you want, easy, healthy, flavorful Italian meals, the trifecta for dinner success.

I make this hearty meat sauce in my cast iron dutch oven, sometimes, if I want carefree cooking, I start it on the stove top,

and finish it off in a 375 degree oven for one hour. anyway you serve it it serves up delicious. You can double or triple the

recipe, it keeps in your refrigerator up to 4 days, you can freeze it for ready made meals, that’s what I do when I make it.

The link below will take you to a the cast iron dutch oven I use, not only for this recipe, but for recipes the require longer cooking time.

It is also what i use to bake my sour dough bread, the recipe for the sourdough bread is posted below. My Dutch oven https://amzn.to/2XlrfIJ
