When the oil is hot add the ground pork, beef and veal and cook for approximately 7 to 10 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon helping to breakdown the ground meats as they brown. When the meats are browned add the red wine and simmer until wine reduces by one half and the alcohol has evaporated. Add Silvio's Sunday Sauce, bay leaves, steak seasoning and water. Stir well to incorporate. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Return hot pasta back to the pot. Add half of your Bolognese sauce and half of the grated Parmesan. Toss well over 1 to 2 minutes allowing the hot pasta to absorb the sauce. If your pasta seems too dry you can add some of the reserved pasta water. 3) Split pasta evenly between individual bowls. Top with remaining sauce. Garnish all with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. |
