    This Bolognese with Burrata is the ultimate comfort dish—rich, hearty, and impossibly creamy. It starts with a savory base of crispy bacon, ground beef, and sausage, simmered with carrots, celery, and onion in a tomato paste and red wine sauce. Tomato sauce, spices, heavy cream, and Parmesan create a velvety, flavorful bolognese that clings to every bite of pasta. Finished with fresh basil and a generous dollop of burrata on top, it’s decadent, indulgent, and perfect for cozy nights in.

    Tips & Tricks (5)

    • Bacon Rendering Magic 🥓
      Start by slowly rendering bacon in a cold pan to extract maximum fat and create a deeply flavorful base for your bolognese.
    • Wine Reduction Technique 🍷
      When adding red wine, let it fully reduce and concentrate its flavors before introducing tomato sauce to build depth and complexity.
    • Creamy Burrata Placement 🧀
      Add room temperature burrata directly on top of the hot pasta just before serving to create a luxurious, melting effect.
    • Mirepoix Micro-Chop 🥕
      Finely dice carrots, celery, and onions to ensure they melt completely into the sauce, creating a seamless texture.
    • Pasta Water Magic 💧
      Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water to help emulsify and thicken the sauce, creating a silkier, more cohesive bolognese.
