Creator Notes
With the days getting colder, we had been in need of comfort meals. For me, that meant pasta bolognese and I wished to exhaust my slack cooker. There’s something comforting about meals gently simmering away in a Crockpot. This bolognese is tailored from a pair of recipes. The resulting sauce is so upright (with out being too successfully off) that we had pasta bolognese all week. Use a red wine that you just wish drink. It does no longer have to be a expensive red. If truth be told, I musty my husband’s well-liked red, the Yellowtail shiraz-cabernet mix, which is ~$7 a bottle and the resulting sauce is swoon-excellent. —HalfPint
