How long does bolognese need to simmer?

[CompletelyUnhappyy]

Is 30 minutes okay?

Thanks.

I do between 30 mins to an hour depending on when I want to eat and if it's too runny

A good hour or so. Longer if possible - it really makes a difference to both flavour and texture. And the vegetables melt into the sauce more, it becomes more homogenous, more of a 'sauce' and less lumpy.
I'm a Marcella Hazan fan on this.

30 mins is fine

I do the Michaela Chiappa ragu. That summers for 3-4 hours.

The longer the better. 2 hours + (at least) for me.

I also prefer it the next day.

I tend to make a massive batch of it and portion though as I don't usually have 2 hours + prep, to make dinner.

I do 1 hour

I too let the ragu simmer for 3 to 4 hours.

40min

I’d do 2 hours

Just done mine for 2 hours.

Would be happy with one.

It'll be cooked and perfectly nice after 30mins - but gets better if you can give it longer.

Ah hour minimum.

I think half an hr to an hr is fine but then leave overnight as it tastes much better the next day

Thanks all... will try to leave a little longer ☺️

I don’t simmer mine, I hate soft mince

At least an hour (then cooled and put in fridge overnight) before eating.

I make it in the slow cooker. You can leave it all day to cook and it has more depth of flavour.

I also let it simmer for a few hours... but if you’re using a premade dolmio sauce I’m sure it doesn’t matter!

30 mins is fine. Ragu requires long, slow cooking but it's so worth it.

30 minutes minimum, 90 if I have the time. If I'm exceptionally well organised, the day before.

Longer the better. 2/4 hours here

2-3 hours at least

30 minutes will cook it, but the longer the better really.

I made sine today and it was a very low light for about 2.5 -hours is now in the fridge will be reheated it always taste better the following day.
