Fettuccine with Bolognese Sauce

Remarkably, this is really fast to prepare. If you start cooking when you get home, the simmer time allows you to do all of the other housekeeping things you need to do before dinner. A loves it!!

Serves 4-6

You need:

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 # pancetta, chopped
1 .5 # ground beef or turkey
1 c. white wine
1 c. whole milk
1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 14.5 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano or 1tbsp. dried
1/3 c. fresh flat leaf parsely, chopped
2.5 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. grated parmesan

In a Dutch oven, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and saute for 2 min. Add the celery, carrot, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes more. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 minutes, then add the meat and cook until brown. Add the wine and the remaining ingredients and simmer for 45 minutes. Serve with cooked fettuccini. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
