ReplyDeleteI love Bolognese but usually make it with ground beef. This is a wonderful twist to the usual. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Amy , it is also good with beef , you can also use leftover turkey , thanks for stopping by :).
DeleteReally fun dish! Although I include pork in my Italian meat sauce (along with beef), I've never used pork in a Bolognese before. Love the idea! Gotta try this - thanks.

DeleteNice spin on Bolognese, Nee. Gotta love that basil and those sugar snaps. I really want to grow them next year. They are the best when freshly picked right from the garden. Perhaps the kids will plant a kitchen garden come Spring:)

Deletenice bolognese, nee! to me, it is already a very comforting kind of dish
ReplyDeleteHi Lena , I do so think we arw thinking alike , warms the tummy , thanks for stoping by :)
DeleteHi Nee, let's try this again, had written my comment and then blogger would not let me enter it! Anyhow, what a wonderful recipe this is! I love Pasta Bolognese, but have not made it with pork. I usually use beef. Have to try this..Also, one of my very favorite veggies is the sugar snap peas! I love them. I make them plain boiled with a bit of butter on it. Love your version of steaming and adding mint. That is what is nice about sharing, you learn so much and get tips from your fellow bloggers. Thanks, blessings, Dottie :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dottie , blogger have did that to me a couple of time , I also do like you , I try again . sugar snap peas I use just butter , so I decided to use a dab of mint and the results was wonderful .
DeleteYes my dear Dottie , that's what is so nice about our fellow bloggers , they become your extended family , such wonderful peoples ... Thanks for stopping by , blessing to you dear Dottie . :).
