Serves: 4

Finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery.

Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan.

Sauté the chopped vegetables over low heat until soft and lightly browned.

Add the minced beef and pork to the soffritto and cook, stirring often, until it loses all its moisture and begins to brown well.

Pour in the red wine and let it evaporate completely.

Add the tomato puree and tomato paste, stir, and cook for a few minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and let the flavors blend well over low heat.

Partially cover the saucepan and cook the ragù over very low heat for at least two hours, stirring occasionally.

Add a splash of milk if you want the sauce to be softer and less acidic.

Let the ragù rest for a few minutes before using it.
