directions

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan.
Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the meat and prosciutto and cook until the mixture is crumbly and browned, 5-10 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and wine after 4 minutes; bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce about 5 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of the evaporated milk and simmer, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, basil, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat and gently simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
Stir in the remaining evaporated milk and continue simmering until the milk is absorbed.
If sauce becomes too thick, add a little water.
Add a dash of grated nutmeg; discard the bay leaf.
Serve over pasta.
