Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 500 grams ground beef
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 800 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 125 milliliters red wine
- 125 milliliters milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Once the meat is browned, stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes to caramelize.
Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, and allow it to simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, milk, bay leaf, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover partially with a lid and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the molho bolonhesa over your favorite pasta with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
