Serving Tip
Light, flavorful, and tomato-rich — a softer, fresher take on the classic bolognese. Serve the bolognese in a deep bowl and top with a small twist of green bean or zucchini ribbons for a modern, light presentation.
Storage Tip
Keeps for up to 2 days; the flavors often deepen after resting overnight.
