Recipe Introduction


This sauce will smell better than anything you’ve ever smelled before.


List of Ingredients




1 medium onion
1 large or 2 small carrots
2 – 3 stalks celery
1 ounce pancetta, very finely chopped
1 lb ground beef (not lean)
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
Pinch allspice
1 cup whole milk
1 cup dry white wine
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes w/ juice
1 lb pasta, such as rigatoni
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for grating

Recipe



Finely chop onion, carrot, and celery. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over low heat, cook pancetta until all fat is rendered and pancetta is just beginning to brown. Add chopped vegetables; raise heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and soft.

Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, ¼ tsp (to start) salt, plus pepper and allspice. Cook until meat is brown.

Add milk. When it begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and cook at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until milk has mostly boiled away, about 30 minutes. Add white wine and cook as with milk, until it has mostly boiled away. Add tomatoes and juice; bring to a simmer. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and allow sauce to cook very gently at barest simmer, 2.5 to 3 hours. Season to taste with remaining salt.

Just before sauce is done, bring a pot of water to boil, salt it generously and boil pasta according to package directions. Drain, mix with a third of sauce, the serve with remaining sauce on top with lots of grated Parmigiano cheese. Makes 4 cups sauce."
