Description

This is a very simple Bolognese Sauce that you can start making at 4:00 and be done by 5:30 and ready for dinner at 6:00 p.m.

I use this sauce for many dishes but add what I need for those specific recipes like Béchamel or fresh herbs or dried seasonings. For me this is just a great basic sauce start with.

NOTE: This sauce is actually a combination of a Marinara and Bolognese. I use more tomatoes which is like a Marinara but I also include meat which is more of a Bolognese.

Olive Oil
1 Small White Onion Finely Chopped

If you have fresh parsley or basil chop it up and use it too.

I like to toss Capellini, Rigatoni, or Penne which is what is pictured above in the gallery.
