This rich, slow-simmered bolognese builds deep flavor the classic way — a soft base of onion, carrot, and celery cooked down until sweet, then a hearty mix of ground beef and pork browned until deeply caramelized. A generous splash of red wine deglazes the pot, and San Marzano tomatoes with a touch of tomato paste turn everything into a thick, glossy sauce that simmers low and slow for nearly an hour. A final stir of milk smooths out the sauce, giving it that signature velvety finish restaurant bolognese is known for. Tossed with tender pasta and finished with a scatter of fresh parsley, it's a comforting, ladle-it-on kind of dinner. This one's a great fit for a gluten free table, no compromise on flavor or that slow-cooked, weekend-worthy richness.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so it doesn't brown.
