I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of

The Most Delicious Bolognese

Ok, so there's a few ingredients but it's still simple. A rich blend of ground beef, aromatic veggies, a splash of white wine and a touch of balsamic vinegar for that unexpected zing. And just when you think it can't get any better, we finish it with milk to bring everything together into a silky, savory symphony.

So grab your apron—or don't, I'm not your mom—and let's make the most delicious Bolognese. Your taste buds will thank you.
