Also today, to get out of the usual dynamics of the classic Bolognese sauce, we are going to prepare the meat in a way that makes it juicier than ever thanks to a touch of bacon.
It takes a little more time, because we are going to do the slow cooked meat and with his chup chupbut the result is so worth it that you will use it for anything.
Obviously, you can use this meat for macaroni, but also for all kinds of pasta long or short like spaghetti, tagliatelle, rigatoni or farfalle. Also for pasta that goes in the oven, such as lasagna or cannelloni.
We fry the diced bacon or bacon together with the minced meat in a wide casserole with a little olive oil, remove and reserve.
In the same casserole, poach the vegetables, cut into paisana, for about 25 minutes until are well cooked. Pour the wine and let it reduce.
Add tomato sauce (it could be tomato from the jar if you don’t have homemade), the meat and boil everything soft fire about 20 minutes.
We rectify salt, pepper and reserve hot to start the macaroni. We cook them in plenty of salted water the time set by the manufacturer.
Drain the macaroni, let’s pour into the meat panmix well and serve hot, with grated cheese on top to taste.
