Never tried this in the oven before, but I’ve got to do it again soon! Everyone loved it!
Baked Bolognese Sauce melds the rich, savory flavors of traditional Italian Bolognese with the comforting texture of a casserole. Originating from Bologna, Italy, this dish combines ground meat, aromatic vegetables, tomatoes, and spices, slow-cooked to perfection. Baking the sauce allows all the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a hearty, savory dish that’s perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests. This recipe transforms the classic stovetop method into a hands-off, oven-baked delight that’s sure to impress.
Baked Bolognese Sauce pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. Serve it over freshly cooked pasta, or use it as a filling for lasagna. For a complete meal, accompany it with a crisp green salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette, crusty garlic bread for dipping, and a glass of robust red wine, such as Chianti or Sangiovese. To balance the richness, a light, lemony dessert like sorbet or panna cotta would be a perfect finish.
