Pasta has always been one of my favorite things to eat. In college, it was my go-to meal for late nights and even now it is a quick meal to prepare. I love heavier sauces and given the time of year, bolognese is one of my favorites! It’s easy to prepare but not something I want to do after working a long shift so I tend to make a pretty large batch. It freezes well so you can easily double to recipe (or triple!) and end up with a stash on hand in your freezer! I use this recipe a lot, especially with my arancini di riso (Italian rice balls- yum!) To make it easier on myself, I use my favorite gluten free sausage instead of regular ground pork. It’s already seasoned. Just make sure if you are using sausage that it is gluten free because some of the casings/fillings have gluten!
- 1 large onion
- 8 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 6 tbsp tomato paste
- 8oz tomato sauce
- ½ tbsp sugar
- ½ cup water
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat
- Sauté onions and garlic until soft
- Add pork and ground beef and heat until brown throughout
- Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, and sugar
- Add ½ cup water
- Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes
Enjoy!

This looks easy and delicious, just my style!
What pasta brands do you like? Right now we’re eating an Italian brand called Farabella and Bionaturae. But we go through phases.

Thanks! Honestly it depends on what’s available! Farabella is one of my favorites! My fiance’s family is Italian so we always have some sort of pasta available so that I can eat with them. He’s getting better at picking ones that don’t immediately turn to mush!
