Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrot, celery, and onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and ground pork to the pan, breaking them up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no pink remains.
  • Pour in the red wine, stirring to deglaze the pan, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir well to combine. Then pour in the tomato sauce, mixing thoroughly.
  • Stir in the milk, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover the pan partially and cook over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove the bay leaves from the sauce and discard. Serve the Bolognese sauce over the cooked spaghetti, and enjoy.
