Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the onion, carrot, and celery. Pulse until finely chopped.
- In a deep, wide skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent but not browned.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add the salt and pepper. Break the meat up with a fork or a potato masher and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, mashing it until it is crumbly and no longer pink. You are not actually browning the meat, just cooking it until it no longer looks raw.
- Add the milk to the skillet and simmer, stirring often, for about 4 minutes, or until the milk has almost completely evaporated. Stir in the nutmeg.
- Add the wine to the skillet and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has almost evaporated.
- Pour the tomatoes into a bowl and squish them with your hands to break them up so there are no large pieces.,Add them to the skillet and bring the sauce to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick. If the sauce begins to look dry, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you feel it's needed.
- Serve the sauce over a bed of cooked pasta.,Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
