Cream, or milk if I don't have cream, and red rather than white wine. I use a Nigel Slater recipe to make it (though I doubt I stick 100% to it as I make it so often that its in my head).

I've started adding milk after reading Heston Blumenthal's cookbook In Search of Perfection. It makes the sauce really unctuous.

I really like the added interest given by the 2 types of onions, sliced and fried til caramelised and finely chopped and softened.

Exactly the same as me, its a really nice recipe & the house smells great while your cooking it, I tend to put a bit more garlic in IIRC

Make a mug of very strong black coffee and add this to the mix - Sounds wrong but tastes right... 😀

I made a ragu last night and put white wine in. Although vermouth (preferably Noilly Prat) is better. I often put milk in curries and its excellent. A little bit of chocolate in a ragu is good too, not so much that you can identify the taste though.

Always red wine. Never milk. Although I do know that its supposed to be in I just never fancied it.

As with all Italian cooking!

Good quality ingredients means you dont have to complicate things, beef mince, basil, tomatoes.. basta!!
