The Bucatini Bolognese Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

The Bucatini Bolognese is a classic Italian pasta dish that features a rich and flavorful meat sauce. The sauce is made with ground beef, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and a blend of herbs and spices. It's simmered for hours to develop a deep and complex flavor. The sauce is then tossed with bucatini pasta, a thick and hollow spaghetti-like pasta that captures the sauce beautifully. It's a hearty and satisfying dish that is perfect for a cozy dinner.
