How To Make Instant Pot Dutch Oven Bolognese Sauc

In your Dutch Oven, add the olive oil, the diced onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Press the button labeled sear/saute, and saute for about 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened, and the onions are translucent.

Pro Tips:

  • Dice your vegetables as small as you can, but in about the same size shape, so they all cook up simultaneously.
  • You only want the vegetables to be softened, if you brown them, you will end up with a burnt-tasting sauce.
  • While I used the traditional “meatloaf mix,” “which combines pork, beef, and veal, you can make this recipe only with ground beef.
  • Stir occasionally, every twenty to thirty minutes.

Can I Eliminate The Milk?

While a traditional bolognese sauce includes milk, if you have a milk or dairy allergy, you can substitute either oat milk, almond milk, or substitute for chicken or beef broth. The sauce’s richness will be changed since the traditional recipe calls for milk.

Why Are These Carrots In the Bolognese Sauce?

When you’re making a classic bolognese sauce, do you ever wonder what those carrots are doing there? Believe it or not, carrots add a depth of flavor essential to the sauce. Without them, your sauce will lack that characteristic richness and complexity. So don’t leave them out next time – they make a difference!

How To Serve

Serve over a plate of pasta, and you can use any of your favorites. Some great options include Tagliatelle, Linguine, Spaghetti, or even tortellini. My family also loves eating this sauce on top of a nice piece of homemade bread.

How To Store:

you should store the leftover sauce in an airtight container to keep it fresh for 3-5 days, and then you can either heat your meal on the stovetop or in the microwave. Gradually increase the time as needed until heated through, stirring between each round of microwaving if using that method.

Freezing: This is a great sauce that you can quickly freeze for another meal. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, and then place it into a freezer-safe container. The sauce will stay well for about 3 to 4 months. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
