directions

  • Place onion, carrot, fennel, garlic and celery in food processor and mince to an even textured paste (aka a pastata. Fancy!).
  • Pour oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pastata and a dash of salt. Cook for around 5 minutes, or until all the liquid evaporates and is beginning to stick to the pan.
  • Crumble in meat and stir with the pestata. Sprinkle with salt and cook until browned.
  • Pour in wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate. Pour in the milk mixed with cornstarch and tomato paste. Stir around for 1-2 minutes.
  • Ladle in the hot stock and add bay leaf, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for 20 more minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with hot cooked pasta and fresh parsley.

  1. This is really nice and the texture was great.
     
  2. Loved it! I used italian sausage as mentioned in the intro. And I didn't have a packaged "Italian Seasoning", so made up my own with oregano, thyme, marjoram and basil. I did need to let mine simmer uncovered longer than the 20 minutes, but I like a thick sauce. This really hit the spot! Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag game.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
