Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Pour in the whole milk and simmer until it has evaporated, stirring occasionally.

  5. Add the white wine to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.

  6. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the sauce simmer gently for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

  7. If the sauce becomes too thick during cooking, you can add a splash of water to loosen it up.

  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

  9. Serve the Bolognese sauce over cooked pasta of your choice, like tagliatelle or fettuccine. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the perfect finishing touch.
