6 servings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 medium carrots, finely diced
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
Chef's tipChicken is leaner, so add a little oil and a bit more seasoning. Cook ground chicken fully - to 165°F (74°C). - 1 lb ground pork
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
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. - 1 bay leaf
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
For serving
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- parmesan cheese, freshly grated, for serving (optional)
