DIRECTIONS

  1. Sauté the chopped white onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat in a heavy sauce pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.  Add the beef and cook an additional 5-10 minutes until meat is lightly browned.  Drain off excess fat.
  2. Add the tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and marjoram.  Allow to simmer for 15 minutes then add cream.  Stir to incorporate and heat through an additional 2 minutes.

Cooking Tip

The difference between marinara sauce and bolognaise is the addition of meat.
