How do you make a good bolognese?

What’s the difference between meat sauce and bolognese?
Bolognese is a kind of ragù (the Italian word for meat sauce), original from Bologna, Italy. It’s very different from your usual American meat sauce, often a tomato-based sauce simmered with ground beef. Bolognese is much thicker, creamier (milk is one of the ingredients) and with just a touch of tomato.

Should Bolognese have carrots?
The tomato isn’t the star of the sauce as much as the meats. Why add carrots to a Bolognese sauce? Carrots along with celery and onion are part of the soffrito that helps season the sauce. The natural sweetness of the carrots helps build the complex flavor profile associated with a bolognese sauce.
