mom's bolognese sauce
(2 ratings)
This sauce is so easy to make and delicious. Best of all, it's made with ingredients that many of us always have on hand. You can double it and freeze some, which is what I usually do. The recipe comes from my mom's Italian kitchen. She is without a doubt the best cook ever!
