Oddly enough I had a Brunello di Montalcino 1997 catching dust in the wine fridge. It worked perfectly and the final product was great. The only thing I would do differently next time, would be to add some additional diced tomato. Thank you for the recommendations on wines.

Passata is a raw tomato sauce. You can also use a tomato sauce in a jar if you prefer, they both work. "<br/><br/>Good luck! Hi Sarah,
I asked this same question and this is what he told me:

“You can use canned plum tomatoes processed in a blender. Passata is a raw tomato sauce. You can also use a tomato sauce in a jar if you prefer, they both work. “

Good luck!

I need a bit more information on a passata! Is this something exquisite that you can purchase? Or is there no comparison to a homemade passata for this particular bolognese recipe? My time is fleeting this week, but I have all the herbs and ingredients ready to prepare this recipe, minus the passata, whatever that is! Help, asap!

I would like to bathe in it. I mean, it has to be good for the complexion, no? Look at Sophia Loren. Chunky meaty goodness! I would like to bathe in it.

Hahaaa.. Yes, I have a penchant for traditional recipes too... and for chefs with unshaven face who shower in the kitchen sink and ocassionally smoke hand- rolled cigarettes.

Wow that's a lot! I'm sure it's worth it though. I really love bolognese sauce and I suppose I should start making it the proper way. Four pounds of beef? Wow that’s a lot!
