Ingredients (serving 5, maybe 6)
- 500 gr half pork/half beef minced meat
- 150 gr bacon
- 2 small onions/ 1 big onion
- 2-3 carrots
- 2-3 celery sticks
- 1-2 cloves of garlic (optional)
- 140 gr tomato puree (2 small cans)
- 1-2 glasses of milk (enough to cover your meat)
- 1-2 glasses of red wine
- 2x canned tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt & Pepper
- Enough pasta (can recommend tagliatelle)
Instructions
Cut all your veggies, preheat your pan
Fry your bacon until all the fat has rendered (takes about 5 min)
Add the veggies and fry for 5 min
Add the minced meat: make sure it makes contact with the bottom of the pan to get maximum brown crusts on your meat
When the mince is done, add the milk (enough to cover the meat) and let simmer until it is completely taken up/evaporated.
Add the tomato puree and fry for a minute or two.
Add the wine and stir through until completely evaporated.
Add the canned tomatoes, bay leaves and adjust (a little) with salt and (mostly) pepper.
Leave it simmer on a very low heat for 1,5-2 hours.
Bring to taste with salt & pepper if necessary
Boil the pasta according to instructions
Top with some fresh basil (can recommend)
Bon appétit!
