Make your own bolognese sauce in this family-friendly pasta dish from Chef Shen, which will keep your guests satisfied in between mouthfuls of hearty roasts. It may come as a surprise, but a splash of fish sauce to the herb mix actually makes a whole lot of difference. With minced pork and minced beef to thicken the sauce, this homemade sauce can be ladled over any pasta of choice.
