2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1 cup chopped onion
* 1 1/3 cups chopped celery
* 1 1/3 cups chopped carrot
* 1 pound ground chuck (I used 1/2 pound chuck and 1/2 pound sausage)
* 1/2 pound ground pork
* Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 2 cups whole milk
* Pinch ground nutmeg
* 2 cups dry white wine
* 3 cups canned imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand with their juice
* As much pasta as you wish cooked and drained
* Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

* In a heavy 5-quart pot over medium heat, warm the oil and 6 tablespoons butter until the butter melts and stops foaming. Toss in the onion and cook for about 5 minutes.
* Toss in the celery and carrot and cook, stirring to coat them with the oil and butter, for 2 minutes.
* Add the chuck and pork, a very healthy pinch of salt, and a good amount of black pepper. Crumble the meat with a wooden spoon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meats have just lost their raw-red color.
* Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the milk and simmer gently, stirring frequently, until the liquid has completely evaporated, about 1 hour.
* Stir in the nutmeg. Pour in the wine and gently simmer, stirring frequently, until it's evaporated, about 1 1/4 hours more.
* Add the tomato purée or crushed tomatoes and stir well. When the tomato puree begins to bubble, turn down the heat and allow to simmer.
* Cook, uncovered, for 3 hours or more, stirring from time to time. While the sauce is burbling away, there's a chance that it'll start drying out. To keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot and scorching, add 1/2 cup water if necessary.
* Take a spoonful—or two—of sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the hot pasta and toss with the sauce. Serve with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Buon Appetito! 👌🏼
