Preparation Steps
1
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Sauté them in olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until translucent.
2
Add the ground meat, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
3
Stir in the tomato puree, oregano, and basil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Set aside to cool slightly.
4
Melt the butter over low heat, then let it cool slightly.
5
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix well.
7
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then, fold in the Bolognese sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
8
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.
9
Pour a portion of the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
10
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, keeping the waffles warm until serving.

To serve, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. You can also offer garlic sour cream or a light tomato sauce on the side.
