White Bolognese Sauce is a creamy and flavorful Italian meat sauce made without tomatoes, perfect for pairing with pasta or gnocchi for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrot, finely chopped
  • 8 oz ground veal or ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, and carrot; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add ground veal and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  3. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add chicken broth and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and butter, then add nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  6. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve the White Bolognese Sauce over your favorite pasta or gnocchi and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try substituting half the veal with ground pork, or add a splash of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
