bolognese sauce

this recipe is out of this world good!!! its my new go to sauce recipe! my sister told me that she tried this recipe and that it was really good so i thought that i would give it a shot. i am so glad that i did! i love this recipe because it has carrots in it so it sneaks veggies in for the kids! i served it with pasta for my kids but it was so tasty on its own, that i put it on spaghetti squash and devoured it (sometimes the thought of veggies grosses me out and it makes it hard to eat, even if it is good... does that make sense? lol)

bolognese sauce
from http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/12/pasta-with-bolognese-sauce.html

2 oz bacon, chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, minced
2 al fresco sweet italian sausage, casing removed and chopped into tiny pieces
1/4 cup white wine
1 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup half & half

In a deep heavy saute pan, saute bacon until fat melts. Add butter, onions and carrots and cook on medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

Increase flame to medium-high, add sausage and saute until browned. Add wine and cook until it reduces down, about 3-4 minutes.  

Add tomatoes. Simmer covered on low, at least 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add half & half and cook 2 minutes longer.

serve with pasta or with spaghetti squash and enjoy!
