Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped ( 3 cups)
3 carrots, finely chopped ( 1 cup)
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1/4 cup tomato paste
coarse salt
fresh ground pepper
1 cup dry white wine
1 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes in puree
1 cup milk
12 ounces spaghetti
parmesan cheese, finely grated, for serving
Directions:
Make sauce: In a dutch oven (or a 5-quart saucepan), heat oil over high heat. Add onions, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add beef and pork; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Add wine and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a simmer; cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 hour. Add milk; simmer until completely absorbed, about 15 minutes more. Season again with salt and pepper.
When sauce is almost done, cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions; drain. Toss pasta with half the meat sauce; save remaining sauce for next day. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
