Chef's tip
Bacon is smokier than pancetta - use the same amount.
1 ½ lb ground pork
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 cup whole milk
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb pasta (tagliatelle, pappardelle, or rigatoni)

For serving

parmesan cheese, freshly grated, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 8–10 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the pancetta has rendered and is lightly golden at the edges, about 3–4 minutes.
