Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Sauce

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Cook the Meat

Add the ground beef and ground pork to the saucepan. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

3

Add Wine and Tomatoes

Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until it reduces slightly. Then, stir in the crushed tomatoes, milk, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

4

Simmer the Sauce

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a richer flavor, simmer for up to 2 hours.

5

Cook the Tagliatelle

While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

6

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked tagliatelle to the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

7

Serve

Serve the tagliatelle bolognese hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
