Mushroom Bolognese, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhance the Mushroom Flavor:

Use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, and shiitake, for a more complex taste.
Roast the mushrooms before adding them to the bolognese to intensify their flavor.
Add dried porcini mushrooms for a rich, umami depth.

Boost the Umami:

Brown the ground beef well to develop Maillard reaction flavors.
Add anchovies or Worcestershire sauce for an extra dose of savory umami.
Use a combination of herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and sage, to add depth and complexity.

Deepen the Sauce:

Use red wine or dry marsala to deglaze the pan and add richness.
Simmer the sauce for an extended period (at least 2 hours) to allow the flavors to develop.
Add a pat of unsalted butter to the finished sauce for a touch of creaminess.

Customize the Texture:

For a velvety smooth sauce, blend the cooked bolognese until it reaches your desired consistency.
If you prefer a chunkier sauce, leave it unblended.
Add cooked vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers, for extra texture and nutrition.

Serve with Intention:

Serve over fresh pasta, such as pappardelle or tagliatelle, to let the sauce’s flavors shine through.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese for a classic touch.
Accompany with a crusty bread to soak up every last bit of sauce.
