Creamy Beef Bolognese with Mushrooms
🍝 🍄🟫 🍝
Creamy Beef Bolognese with Mushrooms is a savory, slow-simmered ragù with layers of flavor that develop over time. Unlike a typical spaghetti meat sauce, which is often brighter, redder, and more tomato-driven, this Bolognese lets meat and vegetables take center stage.
A generous amount of onion, carrot, celery, and cremini mushrooms slowly cooks down into the ragù, creating a deeper, more nuanced foundation and adding layers of savory flavor to the beef. The long, gentle simmer allows the ingredients to meld into a rich, satisfying sauce with subtle earthy notes from the mushrooms.
Equal parts milk and cream mellow the acidity and give the ragù a velvety texture that clings beautifully to spaghetti (or keto-friendly cauliflower, see recipe below).
