Nothing does the trick quite like a bowl of spaghetti. Bolognese sauce has always been a childhood favorite of mine! I’ve been dying to share this recipe for some time, and now I get to give you a tip on how to make the yummiest 20-minute Bolognese! Seriously, this sauce tastes like your grandma’s been in the kitchen stirring it with a wooden spoon for hours.
