Ragu Bolognese, not from a Jar!

Ragu Bolognese:
My husband asked me while I was cooking this why it was called Ragu if there wasn't any of that in the sauce.  The brand name Ragu actually comes from the true meaning of the word 'ragu' which is an Italian sauce with meat and tomatoes.  I'm actually eating some of the left-overs as I write this; absolutely delicious and quite possibly the best meat sauce!  My parents swear that there's no Italian in the family what-so-ever but man I could sure given one a run-for-their-money in the kitchen!  This sauce is hearty and delicious with the hardest part being dicing up all of the ingredients in the prep-work.  It calls for ground beef and pork but I only had beef and the bacon which worked out just as good.  I like to use a fun pasta like cellentani; it dresses it up and seems to hold more of the sauce.  Top with a fresh grated cheese and some freshly chopped herbs and enjoy with a fresh loaf of bread.

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
