Family Dinner Mario Batali Style

My wife and I had our families over for dinner and we wanted to serve a simple meal - pasta and some roasted chicken with root vegetables. Unfortunately, simple didn't mean quick. I decided to make Mario Batali's version of Ragu Bolognese, and let me tell you, it was worth the almost 3 hours cook time. This sauce is super rich and was an absolute hit. Folks loved the chicken too.

Good white wine and quality beef and pork are crucial.


Lipids - Olive Oil and Butter

Add Mirepoix (I used colored carrots)

A Pound Each of Ground Beef and Pork

Can of Tomato Paste
Add White Wine (I used Crush from Niagara)

After an Hour on Low Heat
Chicken About to Go Into the Oven
