  • 2 carrots, finely chopped

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves of garlic (minced)

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 1/2 cup pancetta or bacon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 1/2 cup beef stock

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

  • 1 156 ml can of tomato paste

  • 1 cup cream

Directions

  • Heat oil in a pan, add carrots, onion and celery.
  • As they warm up and sweat, add garlic.
  • cook for just long enough to soften, not to add any colour.
  • Add the meats and cook until pink is all gone.
  • Add the paste, wine and stock, bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to simmer, uncovered for one hour. Stir occasionally.
  • Stir in the cream, add S&P to taste and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Notes

  •  This is a good, basic sauce. Not really big on taste though…no seasonings afterall.
