Cooking Instructions

Melt butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add onion, celery, carrot and bacon. Cook over medium heat until the onion is golden and soft.

Add beef and cook until it is no longer pink, stirring often to prevent sticking. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and oregano. Increase heat to high and pour in wine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the wine has almost evaporated. Add beef stock and tomato paste, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, uncovered, stirring often.

A few minutes before serving, add the chicken livers, if desired. Add cream and stir. Serve hot with freshly-cooked pasta.

Bolognese Sauce

frothe3 ::::: While having a good deal of cholesterol, livers, it seems have some redeeming factors, other than, tasting good. ergo: (I just googled chicken livers): The good: This food is low in Sodium. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Zinc, Copper and Manganese, and a very good source of Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid, Iron, Phosphorus and Selenium. The bad: This food is very high in Cholesterol

Bolognese Sauce

as we all said when we were kids, "Del D liscious" The chicken livers add a surprise and they dont taste all livery just like anchovies lose their fishiness when cooked in a sauce

Definitely Grandmother

Wonderful, this is exactly what Italian grandmothers do. They take everything leftover out of the frig, chop it and fry it with bacon, add vegetables and put it over pasta or polenta. Done. Pizza was the same way before it became "american." Absolutely yummy.
