Here is how you make Homemade Bolognese Pasta Sauce:

The secret to this is allowing the sauce to cook down slowly, so it is thicker & tasty. A slow bubble with an occasional stir does the trick. We sometimes put the sauce on at 1pm & eat it at 5pm--it's nice & hearty!The sugar cuts the acidity of the tomatoes. Play with the spices to suit your taste.In a large pot brown the ground beef on medium-high.Drain off liquid and add carrot, onion, & garlic.Saute until onions are tender (5 min).Add remaining ingredients, lower heat to low, and cover for 10 min to allow flavors to "marry".Uncover and cook--stirring occasionally--until sauce has cooked down at least an inch in the pot.Test for your preferred thickness.Serve over your favorite pasta with a salad.Makes 5 1-Cup servingsSauce freezes well.
