As fist thing, you can start the recipe with preparing the vegetables. Chop onions, carrots and celery. You can make as big as you like them. Since the bolognese sauce is going on your stove for at least one hour, if the vegetables are small, the will melt. If, on the other hand, you like to taste the vegetables, leave them a little bigger.
