Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water.

  5. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the milk and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cook the Rigatoni

    Meanwhile, cook the rigatoni pasta according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  7. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked rigatoni with the ragu bolognese sauce. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
