Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the onion and carrot. Mince the garlic cloves.
Cook the Beef: Heat a dash of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Sauté the Vegetables: Push the beef to one side of the pan. Add the chopped onion and carrot to the other side and sauté until they soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the red Merlot wine and let it simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add Tomatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, dried oregano, and Worcestershire sauce.
Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Simmer the Sauce: Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Finish with Milk: Pour in the whole milk and stir through. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the Bolognese sauce over cooked pasta, such as spaghetti or tagliatelle.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
