Made some delicious bolognese "gravy" last night. Had some over linguini for dinner. Veal, beef, and pork, in roughly equal proportions, went into it.

Looks very good..recipe?

guess not... but google is your friend

Ingredients

6 ounces bacon or pancetta, diced
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion
1 1/4 cups finely chopped carrots
3/4 cup finely chopped celery
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/3 cup tomato paste
3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound linguine pasta, prepared according to package directions
Finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until it is crisp and has released almost all of its fat, about 6 minutes. This is called rendering.

Add the onion, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are very soft and lightly browned around the edges, about 6 minutes.

Add the ground chuck and cook, stirring to break up any clumps, until the meat is browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the vinegar, garlic, and tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so that the sauce just simmers. Simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes.

Combine the milk and cream in a small mixing bowl. After the sauce has simmered for 15 minutes, and at even intervals, start adding the milk-cream mixture little by little--1/4 cup or so at a time over 11/2 hours. By the end of the 11/2 hours, the milk mixture should be completely incorporated and the sauce should be very thick and creamy. This sauce is not supposed to be very "saucy"--it should be tender morsels of meat coated by a thick, creamy sauce.

Transfer the cooked pasta to a large heatproof bowl and add the sauce. Toss th

and what's this "gravy" crap... ya use gravy on taters, chicken fried steak, roast beef....ya use sauce on pasta...some teacher you are............fer cryin out loud.














































































































































































too bad ya have me on ignore ya old puzzy!

Wow, three responses. Just had to see what you wanted.

Recipe: Saute a lightly salted mixture of one finely chopped onion, one finely chopped celery stalk including the leaves, one finely chopped carrot, in lard (or the cooking oil of your choice) till onions are translucent. Then add one pound ground beef, one pound ground veal, and one pound ground pork. Turn heat high and stir for about ten minutes. Add a cup of red wine. Keep cooking and stirring for another five minutes. Stir in a tablespoon full of tomato paste and cook for another couple of minutes. Add three cups full of canned tomatoes that you've previously a) removed the hard white parts and bits of skin from, then b) crushed to bits. Mix in. Add four whole bay leaves and a teaspoon full of fresh ground black pepper, stir in. Bring to a boil, then down to a simmer. Add two teaspoons of salt and stir in. Simmer uncovered for two to three hours. Every half hour, check to see if it's getting dry. If so, add warm whole milk a cup at a time, then stir it in, so the "gravy" remains liquid. After you've added a cup or two, you can switch to hot water as the additive instead of milk. Periodically, taste for salt. If it needs more, add more a little at a time till it's right.

PS How about we try being at least a little civil to each other, and I can take you off ignore?

Do what you like..I have been civil...you have just been a puzzy putting people on ignore....fer cryin out loud grow up. I just call them like I see them.

You quit posting cop hating, paul worshipping, drama queen threads and I won't bust your chops....that work?

Ignore is for puzzys.

I'm very easy to get along with. You need to learn to tolerate those who don't agree 100% with you on everything.

Uh..........I didn't put anyone on ignore cause I didn't agree with them.............I think you need to take your own advice....grow some skin.

as I figured..............

I've got zero problem with folks disagreeing with me. I won't tolerate constant incivility, however. That's what gets placed on ignore.

You call posting all that crap about LEO being corrupt being civil? or berating people because they don't worship at the altar of ron paul being civil? you are one messed up excuse of a life form.

typical liberal mentality....force your beliefs and values on others....control freak aren't ya... saw it in how you dealt with your mom and that stupid piece of schit knife...like I said...grow a set.

you can't deal with a difference in opinion or controversy...you better find a phuggin hole and pull the top in over your head.

yep had you pegged from the beginning...

....didn't figure you had it in ya to begin with.

Come on boys. This is the food forum. Everybody likes to eat.
You two want to fight that is fine but take it outside please.

I won't even fight with the heathen that insist in cooking beans in their chili.

beans are good chili and ground meat makes good jerky.

eh,,,, just so's ya know. I tried the recipi you found on-line last night.
My advice if you're planning to do the same is DON'T BOTHER!
Most godawfull tasting chit ever! I threw the whole mess out after chocking down about a half of a serving.
I followed the directions pretty closly too, with the only exception being that since I didn't have white wine vinegar on hand I substituted two tsp white wine and 2 tsp white vinegar for the recomended 4 tsp white wine vinegar. Can't imagine that made much difference.
I can't put my finger on it but something about the tomato paste, cream/milk, and carrot combo made for a foul taste I really can't describe.

Had to borrow my neighbors Cat so I could lick it's ass to get the taste out of my mouth.

it was this one

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/linguine-bolognese-recipe/index.html

Yea,,, I wasn't blaming you.
Just giving you a heads up.
Truth is, I've found more stinkers on-line than I have good ones, but I have stumbled across a few great ones so I keep looking.

Try mine, Fieldgrade. I've had this dish at the finest Italian restaurants in New York, and the recipe I use is every bit as good.

even Emeril lays a bomb now and then I guess..

You are pathetic you know that! try mine....try mine ...try mine....geeez buy a life .....

LOL,,,,, You actually went to the "finest Italian Restaurants in New York" and ordered hamburger and noodles?
Ya know,,,, I'm fairly new here but between you're ridiculous views of what Wolves can and cannot do, your facination with Pit-Bulls, and your attraction to Hamber Helper, I'm gonna go out on a limb and deduce that you sir, are (with all due respect ),,, Full Of Chit.

it didn't take long to figure out did it...trh will put ya on ignore now

I smell a sock puppet. Who do you belong to? Not difficult to guess.

"Sock Puppet"? What are you,, about 12?
About what I'd expect from someone that conciders Hamburger Helper as gourmet dining though.
Whats next,,,, an in depth discussion of Ninja's and shells vs elbow in Mac and Cheese?

FieldGrade trh is also paranoid.....trh you need to loosen up your tinfoil....FieldGrade just has you pegged is all.

He is what he is, but one thing he is not is a bad/lousy cook. I use many of his recipes, and they get rave reviews, and many requests. Honest eh76, TRH and I do not agree on many, many things, but I have to give him his dues, he can cook !

Lynn

I tend to simply ignore Troll's like TRH but if you want to exchange recipies (or any thing else) with the ass-bag, it's no skin off my nose.
Enjoy your hamburger and noodles.

Fieldgrade, there is no definition in common use by which I constitute an internet troll or anything close to one. You and your unusually close elk hunting buddy, on the other hand, match perfectly with every widely accepted definition of an internet troll I've ever seen, this thread being a perfect example.

PS Thanks for the kind comments, Lynn.

trh I only hold YOU accountable for the BS you post. I find it HILARIOUS that you think FieldGrade and I even know each other...you have your tinfoil on WAY too tight.



Lynn he may be able to cook but he is a paranoid fruitcake of the nth degree

LOL,,,, Not sure how you came to the conclusion that eh and I know each other just because I tried the recipi he posted and said I didn't like it but it's your story so tell it any way you like Einstein.
The fact that you've even been to NYC let alone try to impress me by telling me you've eaten at the "finest" resturants there tell me everything I need to know about you pal.
Congrats on being a good cook though,, most east coast metro sexuals are.

The truth is the truth, and I tell it like it is.

Have a good one.

Lynn
