There is something truly special about a pasta sauce that skips the tomatoes in favor of a savory, velvety base. This white bolognese combines ground beef, pork, and smoky bacon to build layers of flavor that will have everyone asking for seconds.

I love serving this on a quiet weeknight when I want a meal that feels a bit fancy but is actually quite simple to pull together. A quick tip, make sure to grate your parmesan fresh from a block because it melts so much better into the cream than the pre grated kind.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 pound pasta of your choice
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Salt and black pepper to taste

8Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
2
While the water heats, add the olive oil and bacon to a large skillet over medium heat, cooking until the bacon is crisp.
3
Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet, breaking the meat apart with a spoon until it is browned and cooked through.
4
Stir in the onion and garlic, cooking for about five minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
5
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and let it simmer gently for about five minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
6
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Drain the cooked pasta and toss it directly into the sauce until every strand is beautifully coated.
8
Serve immediately with a little extra parmesan and fresh parsley sprinkled on top.

Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, add a tiny splash of milk or broth to loosen the sauce as the pasta tends to soak up the cream while sitting in the refrigerator.
