Pappardelle Bolognese is the epitome of comfort food, with its aroma of rich sauce that wafts through the house. For this recipe, you’ll combine tomato paste and vegetables with a mix of ground beef, sausage, chicken and cream. Everything is slow-cooked together on the stovetop for several hours, and the final product is a hearty sauce that’s served atop a bed of wide noodles<\/a>. It’s impressive enough for a date night, and since most of the cooking is passive, it’s simple enough to make a batch for the family to eat throughout the week.<\/p>\n
