Bolognese Sauce

This has got to be my brother's favorite, so when he comes over I make it for him and he wolfs it down. It's really my mother's recipe but I think it's the best Bolognese sauce I ever had. It must be the sage that really give the sauce a nice flavor. The recipe should be for two servings, I always make this amount when it's just for myself then I know what I will be having for lunch or dinner the next day, or two !
