This traditional Spaghetti Bolognese has an ultra flavorful meat sauce that’s easy to make! Even kids and picky eaters will love this classic Italian meat sauce.
Spaghetti Bolognese
There are no words to describe how much my family loves this slow cooked meat sauce. Serve it up with a tall glass of milk and some garlic bread with cheese and you’ve got an award winning meal packed with protein and the best Italian flavors.
Meat to Sauce Ratio
Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese recipes are made with very little marinara. The authentic version is mostly made of meat.
Me? I like a little bit more sauce in my pasta, so feel free to use a 28 oz. can instead of the 18 ounces noted in the recipe. You can always start with 18 ounces and add more as you see fit.

How to Make it
The 74-year-old model, mother of billionaire Elon Musk, Maye Musk, shared that more than 35 years ago, when her son was only 14 years old. Elon Musk recommended that she invest $1,000 in stocks and buy shares of a company he “really believes in,” despite the stockbroker saying the investment was a “bad idea.” .👇
