Bolognese (with three types of minced meat)
Description
Preparing the sauce will take you at least three hours, so be ready to spend a long time in the kitchen. For the sauce, you can use fresh tomatoes or canned tomato sauce. You can serve the dish with any type of pasta. Store the sauce separately—do not mix it with the pasta in advance; combine only immediately before serving.
