Instructions
- Add oil to a large pot or Dutch oven along with the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Saute for 2-3 minutes, over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and mushrooms and continue sauteing for an additional minute.
- Push vegetables to the side of the pot and add ground beef. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until almost cooked through. Crumble with a potato masher to break it apart into fine crumbles, if desired.
- Add ¾ cup of milk, white wine, tomato paste, salt, pepper, dried herbs, and nutmeg. Stir to combine, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer bolognese, uncovered, for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 2 hours for the best flavor. Make sure to stir the sauce every few minutes to prevent it from burning.
- Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of milk just before serving.
- Serve bolognese sauce over pappardelle, tagliatelle, spaghetti or zucchini noodles with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- Unsweetened cashew, oat, or soy milk may also be used.
- To Store: Seal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- To Freeze: Much like a pomodoro sauce, this bolognese sauce freezes exceptionally! Keep in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 6 months.
