Is 3 and a 1/2 hrs too long to let bolognaise sauce simmer?

Awesome thanks ladies!!

One more question... How much is a 'splash' of red wine when adding to the sauce?

I add 1/2 cup red wine to my bolognaise!! LOL so more than a splash.... but probably around a tablespoon. I simmer mine for 2 hours normally, stirring often, so I don't see how 3 1/2 hours would be bad at all

The red wine will just be to your preference - some prefer a bigger splash than others LOL. For me a splash would literally only be a splash - so maybe a tablespoon at most.
