How to prepare Bolognese sauce

Preparation

1. STEP 1 OF 11

   Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

2. STEP 2 OF 11

   Add onion, celery, carrot, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. STEP 3 OF 11

   Mix the ground beef with the vegetables; cook and stir until the meat is crumbled and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

4. STEP 4 OF 11

   Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

5. STEP 5 OF 11

   Pour the milk into the ground beef mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the milk has evaporated and the bottom of the pan is still slightly creamy, about 5 minutes.

6. STEP 6 OF 11

   Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the white wine; cook and stir until the wine is almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes.

7. STEP 7 OF 11

   Pour the tomatoes with juice into a large bowl and crush them with your hands until you have a coarse sauce.

8. STEP 8 OF 11

   Add the tomato mixture to the ground beef; fill the tomato can with 2 cups of water and stir into the sauce.

9. STEP 9 OF 11

   Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture reduces to a thick sauce, at least 3 hours but preferably 4-6 hours.

10. STEP 10 OF 11

    Remove the fat from the surface of the sauce if desired. Add more water if the sauce is too thick.

11. STEP 11 OF 11
