    What is your food love language? There’s something about a sauce that cooks all day paired with pasta that just says I love you. This Gluten Free Decadent Meaty Pasta Bolognese is the perfect way to show those in your life how special they are.

    Gluten Free Decadent Meaty Pasta Bolonese

    Bolognese is a labor of love. It's one of those dishes that takes time and you can't rush. However that time equals flavor. The longer it cooks, the thicker and more decadent it gets, and the more the flavors marry and get deeper.

    All About the Meaty

    There are two types of meat in this Gluten Free Decadent Meaty Pasta Bolognese recipe, ground beef and ground pork. Both lend their own unique richness and flavor. Because meat is a star of the dish you want to use quality ingredients.

    For the ground beef I used Richards Grassfed Beef. Richards Grassfed Beef is certified by the American Grassfed Association. Their cattle grazes on thousands of acres of lush, vibrant grass free of fertilizers. They're never given antibiotics or hormones and because it's grassfed it's naturally leaner, lower in cholesteral, and high in vitamins A & B as well as Omega-3 fatty acids.

    If you haven't had grassfed beef, it's the taste of what beef should be. Deeper and more rich and intensely flavored, it'll add depth to everything you cook, such as this Bolognese.

    Gluten Free Decadent Meaty Pasta Bolognese, That's Amore!

    Italy is my favorite place to immerse myself in and enjoy the wealth of incredible regional dishes. It's all about slowing down and enjoying the harmonious balance of beautiful ingredients.

    For the tomato portion of the sauce I recommend using strained tomatoes. They're only briefly cooked, and then strained of seeds and skin. It's a finer texture than crushed tomatoes. You can usually find strained tomatoes in a box and sometimes a glass jar.

    The actual work of creating the perfect Bolognese is all at the front part of cooking. Besides chopping, the only other real step is to brown your meat. That layer of brown crust adds to the flavor and enhances the depth. After that you just need to let the pot do the work with an occasional stir.

    The longer this cooks, the thicker and more luxurious it'll become. You want it to hold up on its own as well as hug your favorite Gluten Free pasta. This recipe makes enough for two boxes of pasta so feel free to invite friends over and take them on a mini trip to Italy with this dish.
