For the best flavor, use high-quality ground beef with a good amount of fat (around 20%). San Marzano tomatoes are preferred for their sweetness and low acidity, but other good-quality plum tomatoes can be substituted. The long simmering time is crucial for developing the complex flavors of the Bolognese sauce. Don't rush this step! Serve over your favorite pasta shape, such as tagliatelle or pappardelle, with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese.
