Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
• 1 medium Celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 pound Ground veal
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 28 ounces Canned whole tomatoes, crushed by hand
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground veal and pork to the pot. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the whole milk and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk is mostly evaporated, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add the dry white wine and simmer until it reduces by half, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover partially with a lid, and let the sauce simmer gently for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to help develop the flavors.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the Bolognese sauce over your favorite pasta and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
