Spaghetti Bolognese
The Bolognese sauce most people know is far removed from the original recipe, which is a very rich sauce. With this version I try to refer back to the original while also doing something completely different. If you want to make it vegetarian, simply skip the pancetta and start by sautéing the onion.
