Serves

4
  • 1 1/2 Pounds Schweid & Sons Certified Angus Beef® Brand The Signature Blend Ground Beef Brick

  • 2 Tablespoon Olive oil

  • 1 Large Yellow Onion (diced)

  • 2 Carrots (peeled and diced)

  • 2 Celery Stalks (diced)

  • 5 Cloves Garlic (minced)

  • 1 Small 4 oz Can Tomato Paste

  • 2 Cups Beef Stock

  • 2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning

  • 2 Teaspoon Coarse Kosher Salt

  • 1 Teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

  • 1 Cup Milk

  • 1 Pound Whole Wheat Fettuccine

  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Flat Leaf Italian Parsley

  • Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese

  • 1. Heat large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add oil to coat pan. Cook onion, carrot and celery until onions start to become transparent, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, bacon and ground beef; break up and cook until no pink remains.

  • 2. Add wine and stir 2 minutes, scraping any brown bits from bottom of pan. Add tomato paste, stock, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, simmering for 1 hour uncovered, stirring occasionally.

  • 3. Heat milk in separate saucepan over medium heat until hot to the touch without boiling, 2-3 minutes. (Alternately, microwave milk for 1 1/2 minutes on high.) Stir milk into sauce about a 1/4 cup at a time until absorbed. Simmer, nearly covered, for 30 minutes.

  • 4. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Combine pasta with half of the Bolognese sauce and parsley; then plate, topping with remaining sauce, parsley and grated cheese to taste.
