Who loves a good bolognese. Not that southern Italian red full of tomatoes stuff but a good northern Italian bolognese. Simple. Holy trinity, olive oil (duh), pork, veal, garlic, salt, a few peeled tomatoes and Chianti.

Looks good, but I like red bolognese with tomatoes and I'm from the north.

I made a bolognese this past Sunday. Simple perfection.

Not sure whay your holy trinity is, but cant imagine many italians would use green pepper in anything.

Love a bolognese. Onions, carrots, celery, prosciutto, diced finely. Loads of olive oil. Pork and veal ground finely. Tomato paste and milk.

No green pepper. Celery, onions and carrots. Plus garlic. Definitely no tomato paste or milk in northern Italy. Just a few fresh, peeled tomatoes. No prosciutto up there either.

It's Interesting what Americans think of as Italian food compared to what you eat in Italy. This is particularly true in the north.

Re: milk, every single traditionalist recipe in my library of cookbooks includes milk and/or cream. And I'm takling books written by and for Italians, in Italian. Even the official city of Bologna recipe offered on its tourist website includes milk and cream.

Wow, I've never seen milk or cream in the recipes I've read, and I have a couple of decent Italian cookbooks.

I did cooking classes in Italy last September and there was no milk in the Bolognese. It could be a regional thing. The classes I took were in the Chianti region of Tuscany.

As long as it's good I'm not going to argue over one ingredient. Well, I might argue against tomato paste.

'strattu, the extra concentrated, sun dried tomato paste produced in Sicily, will change your mind about tomato paste in general. Ten pounds of tomatoes end up in just one jar.
