  1. Sauté the chopped white onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat in a heavy sauce pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.  Add the beef and cook an additional 5-10 minutes until meat is lightly browned.  Drain off excess fat.

Cooking Tip

The difference between marinara sauce and bolognaise is the addition of meat.
