Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 large carrots diced
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ cup red or white wine I like red, but both are delicious
- 5 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- ¾ cup plain milk of choice I used almond, regular milk works too
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Add the onion, carrot and oil to a large pot or dutch oven.
- Saute for about 5-10 minutes or until soft.
- Add in the garlic and chicken and cook until the chicken has browned, stirring often.
- Once browned, add in the wine and simmer until the liquid has cooked off.
- Add in the tomato paste and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in all remaining ingredients aside from the parmesan and bring to a low boil.
- Reduce the heat to lower, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring a few times throughout.
- Discard the bay leaves. Taste and adjust flavors as desired.
- Serve with your favorite pasta, fresh basil and parmesan and enjoy!
Notes
Bolognese traditionally uses white wine, but I love the richness red wine adds to the sauce. Either will work here!
