How to cook it

  1. Warm the olive oil in a heavy pot and cook the finely chopped pancetta until the fat renders, about 4 minutes.

  2. Add the minced carrot, celery, onion, and garlic and cook until soft, about 8 minutes.

  3. Raise the heat, add the beef and pork, and brown well, breaking up the meat.

  4. Stir in the tomato paste, then the crushed tomatoes, milk, and beef broth, and season with salt.

  5. Lower to a bare simmer and cook, stirring now and then, until thick and rich, about 90 minutes.
