Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: dice the onion, celery, and carrots
- Chop the bunch of herbs and combine them with the vegetables.
- Prepare the meat: combine the ground beef and pork with the sausage, and with your hands, mix them well.
- In a saucepan, add a little oil and butter and melt them over low heat.
- Sauté the vegetables and seasonings in the pot. Cook them until they are golden brown.
- Add the meat, and with a wooden spoon, stir it to make sure it cooks evenly.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine: add the wine and over high heat, let it evaporate.
- Add the tomato puree, then the milk, and finally the 30g of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Stir well and cook over a medium-low heat until it is reduced by half the volume. Usually, at least 3 hours is required.
Notes
- Storage Instructions: Keep sauce in the fridge in an airtight container. To use it at it’s best, put it into a pan, add a few spoons of water from the cooked pasta, cover it with a lid, and cook over low heat. When done, pour the pasta directly into the pan with the ragù and stir fry for a few minutes to combine well.
- Freezing Instructions: When the ragù is cold, put it into a 250ml container and store it in the freezer for 3 or 4 months.
