  3. Return skillet to the stove, turn the stove down to medium and add red wine. Bring to simmer and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet into the wine, then pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
  4. Add remaining ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook on Low for 6 hours.

Linguine

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the linguine until just before al dente (still slightly firm). Remove 1 mug of the water from the pot, then drain the pasta.
  2. Return the pasta to the pot and add 2 1/2 – 3 cups of Bolognese sauce, plus 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water. Toss gently over medium high heat for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the spaghetti. (Note 3)
  3. Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
