Recipe Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large heavy bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Add the pork and beef, breaking into small pieces. Season with salt. Cook until it's browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add the milk and bring to a low simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Next, add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, red wine, oregano and nutmeg. Mix to combine and bring to a boil. Then, lower the heat and simmer for at least 2 hours, the longer the better. Occasionally stir, taste, and add salt if needed.
- When ready to serve, ladle the sauce over the cooked pasta and top with Parmesan cheese.
