Creating the Perfect Sofrito

Start by preparing the sofrito with celery, carrot, onions, and pancetta. Gennaro emphasizes the importance of softening these ingredients to build a flavorful base for the Bolognese.

Incorporate both minced beef and pork for a rich texture. Gennaro's technique of sealing the meat ensures optimal flavor development.

Perfecting the Bolognese

Allow the Bolognese to simmer slowly, allowing the flavors to meld together. Gennaro's emphasis on patience ensures a truly authentic and delicious dish.

Serve the Bolognese over freshly cooked pasta, allowing the sauce to coat each strand perfectly. Finish with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese for a final touch of flavor.
