BOLOGNESE SAUCE
Makes 8 servings (enough for 1 pound pasta)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2
teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup dry white wine
2 cans (14 ounce) diced tomatoes, with the juices
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup beef stock, nonfat, low sodium
1 pound pasta
Preheat Cuisinart ® Electric Skillet to 300°F; melt olive oil and butter. Add
onion, carrots and celery; cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until vegetables
are softened. Increase temperature to 350°F. Add ground beef and cook,
breaking up large chunks, until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper.
Pour in milk and nutmeg; cook until almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add white wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add
tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef stock. Lower heat to simmer, 200°F, and
cook uncovered until sauce has thickened and meat is tender, about 1 hour
longer.
To serve, cook pasta according to package instructions, reserving one cup
of cooking water. If sauce seems too thick, add reserved water. Gently
combine hot pasta with meat sauce right in the Skillet.
