Cooking Instructions

4-5 Hours
  1. 1

    Place the oil, butter, and onion in a large pot (don’t use cast-iron) over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the onion until it is translucent, then add the carrot. Stir for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the ground meat, a large pinch of salt, and some freshly ground pepper.

  4. 4

    Brown the meat and break any clumps into small pieces.

  5. 5

    Pour the milk into the pot and simmer, stirring often, until the liquid has cooked away completely (about 45 minutes).

  6. 6

    Add the wine and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated (about 30 minutes)

  7. 7

    Add the tomatoes, stirring well to mix everything together. When the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.

  8. 8

    Let the sauce cook uncovered for 3 hours (or more), giving it a stir every now and again. If all of the liquid boils off before the cooking time is done, stir in 1/2 cup of water and continue to simmer. Repeat as necessary. By the end, there should be no liquid left. Season with salt to taste. Makes 4 cups of sauce. Can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3 days or frozen.
