6 servings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 medium carrots, finely diced
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ lb ground beef (80/20)
- ¾ lb ground pork

- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand

Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will taste lighter and less meaty; a mushroom-rich vegetable broth gives the closest beefy flavor. - ½ cup whole milk
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano, for serving (optional)
Can be omittedparmigiano-reggiano
