Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the pot is large enough to accommodate all ingredients comfortably.
- 2
Add the pancetta to the pot and cook until crisp and the fat has rendered, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 6 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- 3
Remove the cooked pancetta with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 4
Add the yellow onion, carrot, and celery to the pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
Aproximativ 9 min.
Nota bucătarului: This step, known as creating a 'soffritto', is crucial for building the flavor base of the sauce.
- 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and ground pork to the pot.
- 6
Break up the meat with a spoon and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Aproximativ 9 min.
Nota bucătarului: Drain any excess fat if desired, but a little fat adds flavor.
- 7
Pour in the dry white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: This 'deglazing' step adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
- 8
Let the wine simmer until it has almost completely evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 6 min.
- 9
Stir in the whole milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The milk helps tenderize the meat and adds richness.
- 10
Continue to simmer until the milk has almost completely evaporated and been absorbed by the meat, about 10-15 minutes.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
- 11
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 12
Return the reserved pancetta to the pot.
- 13
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for at least 2.5 hours, or up to 4 hours.
Aproximativ 2 ore 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor.
- 14
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
