This classic tomato-meat sauce is even better the next day and it freezes well for up to a month. Slow cooking draws out the flavors of the aromatic vegetables and tomatoes. Make a pot on the weekend and turn to it during the week for quick meals.
Ingredients
Method
Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Add onion, celery, carrots and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes or until tender but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium high and add ground beef and ground pork, breaking the meat into chunks.
Cook until browned.
Add the wine.
Crush the tomatoes with your hands as you add them to the pot, or use a fork to do this.
Season with salt and pepper and simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 hours or until sauce is very thick.
Stir in the milk and simmer again for just a few more minutes, stirring often.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
When ready to serve, cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.
Drain thoroughly.
Serve sauce over pasta and garnish with basil and cheese.
