📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.

2. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté these vegetables gently until they are soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and pork into the pan. Cook the meat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned all over, approximately 10 minutes.

5. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes, then pour in the red wine and let it simmer until reduced by half.

6. Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

7. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and let the sauce simmer for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

8. About 15 minutes before the sauce is done, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.

9. While the pasta is cooking, stir the milk into the Bolognese sauce and let it simmer uncovered for the remaining time.

10. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add a ladleful of the Bolognese sauce to the pasta and toss to coat.

11. Serve the pasta topped with the remaining sauce and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
