In a large dutch oven, heat a 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta. Cook until it starts to release fat and become crisp 2. Add the celery, carrot, and, onion. Cook until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a few more minutes until the veggies are soft 3. Next add the beef, making sure to break it up. Once it’s browned, add the wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cook until it has evaporated then add the tomato paste and cook until it turns a dark red color 4. Add the rest of your ingredients along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir, then cover and cook on low for 2-3hours. Let it simmer and stir occasionally 5. Once time’s almost up, check for seasoning and adjust as necessary. Add milk or cream if desired to help cut some of the acidity. If the sauce is not thick enough for your liking, continue to cook with the lid off for another 10-30 mins. Remove the bay leaf, Parmesan rind, and basil stems before serving with your favorite pasta #recipe #cooking #bolognese #pasta #italianfood
