Its not a tomato sauce, its a meat sauce -- loosen bolognese up wit a bit of the pasta water and a couple chunks of butter.

 

You are looking for a Sunday gravy.

Ironically the Sopranos cookbook has a pretty decent Sunday Gravy recipe. Not as good as the pure Campani but better than most.

I always use onions in a bolognese but to be honest I don't think they add much. Certainly not as much as a red pepper or the mushrooms. 

Thing is, mushrooms and red pepper shouldn't strictly be in a bolognese. Onions absolutely should though. 

[Dr Nowt]

Get a bit of celery and finely grated carrot in there n’ all.

 

And fry the mushrooms off in garlic and butter first.

 

Chuck anything in a spaghet bolog, me.

I was freaked out by this the first few times, but it is absolutely correct.

Apart from the sofrito angle, just bulks it out a bit doesn’t it.

 

Diced courgette also for Claypole, or is that pushing it?

Yep - not in at the start though, I'd put that in after the meat. Probably no longer strictly bolognese at that point, but tasty whilst giving the illusion of healthiness.

 Negged. Proper Bolognese is amazing.

 

The 1990 film is a remake of an early 80s made for television film starring Michael Staniforth and Molly Weir.

I am with Arthur on this. Onions are wrong. 

 

Mushrooms however are great. 

You are wrong.

I do my ragu with half pork and half beef mince, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, diced onion, carrot and celery, red wine, high pressure in my Instant Pot for an hour... Absolutely superb.
