Agguingere e Soffriggere

Agguingere and soffriggere are my new favorite words!

The homework for my Italian class was to take a recipe for Bolognese sauce and translate it into Italian using my growing grasp of Italian.

This isn't my sauce recipe, it's the one that we were given to translate. I think that I've done pretty well with the translation!

Infine aggiungere un bicchiere di latte.

Buon appetito!
