Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add the ground veal and ground pork to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, reducing slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Simmer

    Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover partially. Cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Finish with Milk

    After simmering, stir in the milk and let simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
