Fettuccine Bolognese
This is my third dish from the “Pasta Passport” recipes I developed for Parents Magazine — and it’s also one of my favorites! I have such vivid memories of my mother making a similar dish when I was a kid, pouring the warm sauce over spaghetti and topping it with grated parmesan cheese. Her sauce would simmer for hours, filling our house with the smell of fresh herbs, garlic and tomatoes. My brother and I mispronounced it “Pa-Scetti” and my kids call it as “bo-lo-nase”. Whatever you decide to call it, you’ll be happy when the entire family is calling it “delicious”!
