For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the sauce after browning the meat. Let it reduce slightly before adding the vegetables. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables! Bell peppers, zucchini, or even spinach would be delicious additions. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the Bolognese before serving.
