Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 3 ribs celery, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely minced
- 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 (24-ounce) jar store-bought marinara
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound wide noodles, such as pappardelle or tagliatelle, cooked, for serving
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the carrots, celery, and onion and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and ground pork and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is browned, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, and pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Stir in the heavy cream and remove from heat.
- Serve the bolognese over the cooked pasta and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
