At a glance
You're building a rich, aromatic Bolognese that simmers low and slow for at least two hours, so patience is your main ingredient here. The process starts with finely dicing vegetables and bacon, sautéing them until golden, then layering in ground pork, red wine, and tomato to create that deeply savory sauce. The long, gentle cooking time is what transforms everything into that iconic, silky Bolognese magic.
