 CHEF's TIP:

To make a "Bolognese" Sauce, add 1 Lb of ground meat (an equal mix of beef, veal and pork is always flavorful) Heat this on P10 for 5 minutes or until the meat begins to brown, then begin at step 1 above and omit the olive oil. If you’d prefer minimizing animal fat, pour off the excess animal fat and use the olive oil.
