This rich and delicious sauce simmers for 3-4 hours and is a perfect Sunday night dinner. Feel free to use ground veal, add more or less sausage or none at all. A typical bolognese usually has 2 or three types of meat. The sauce is very forgiving so if there is an ingredient that you don’t like, omit it. I prefer bite-size piece of sausage with is NOT typical. You can crumble sausage and add to the pot if you prefer when you add the ground beef. The sauce is great with a wider noodle or a tubed pasta and holds up well in a “baked” dish.
