This is very good! it's different to my own recipe, but still has lots of flavors, I did add in about 3 teaspoons dried chili flakes, and I pretty much made as stated, I even added in the chicken livers, an ingredient I have never added to my bolognese sauce in the past, and increased the crushed tomatoes to 1-1/2 cups. I let mine simmer for about 1-1/2 hours. Darn good bolognese sauce Evelyn!...Kitten:)

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
