I'll probably be making a batch of this this week sometime.

Sauce Bolognese
Prep time 90 min to 2 hrs. This is the old-school stuff from an 80-y.o. Italian mama.

5 cloves Garlic, 3 and 2
¼ cup Olive Oil
about 1 lb. Ground Beef or Ground Pork
2 cans Crushed Tomatoes
¼ cup White Wine
fresh Parsley
fresh or dried Basil, optional
Black Pepper, Red Pepper, to taste – light on the Red

1. On low heat, brown three of the Garlic cloves in the Olive Oil.
2. Remove cloves, add ground Beef or Pork, brown.
3. In a separate pan, simmer crushed Tomatoes over low heat. Keep at light simmer. Use diffuser if necessary – like if you have cheap cookware.
4. When meat is browned, drain excess oil if necessary, add White Wine, simmer about 5 minutes.
5. Add meat to the simmering tomatoes, cook about 1 ½ hours. Cooking time depends on your taste for the acidity of the tomatoes (longer cooking means less acidic?), and how acid they are.
6. ½ hour after adding meat, add fresh Parsley and the other two cloves Garlic, and the Basil – 1 sprig if fresh Basil, or sprinkle in some dried, to taste.
