Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 pound Whole30-compliant sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the Whole30-compliant sausage and ground beef to the pot. Use a spatula or spoon to break up the meat as it cooks. Continue to cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
Once the meat is browned, stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and balsamic vinegar.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the sauce simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 45 minutes, uncover the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking.
Before serving, stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the Bolognese sauce over your favorite Whole30-compliant vegetable noodles or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
