SUMMARY

This genuinely is the best bolognese recipe you will ever have. It might not be super traditional and purists may have a go at us for using milk but what it is is packed with flavour and can be used time and time again because who doestn't love a bolognese sauce. One word of a warning - this recipe takes a long time around three hours but my god it is worth it.
