Ingredients
Directions
-
Start with a pan on medium heat and add a couple glugs of olive oil, about 2 tbsp.
-
Dice and add to the pan the onion, celery, and carrots and cook until softened. Add the garlic, crushed or fine dice.
-
Add the meat and chop well into the vegetable mixture. Cook until no pink remains.
-
Add the tomatoes, the red wine, oregano, and thyme and simmer until the carrots have fully broken down, checking every 5-10 minutes so it does not burn. It should be a thick sauce.

Remove and add the milk, stirring gently until incorporated. Serve with pasta.
Note
-
Traditional bolognese uses red wine. This recipe uses red for a stronger flavor.
