How to Make Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce
This recipe from UKTV for spaghetti bolognese has a few different ingredients than the recipe on this page, but the general principles are the same. The chef stresses that its important to use ground chuck, rather than a more lean cut of meat, and that the meat should be simmered with milk before the tomatoes are added.
