Instructions
- Prepare the base : Add olive oil to a large pot, brown the ground beef for about 4 minutes on each side, then break it up and set aside. Brown the pancetta, then add the mirepoix, salt, pepper, and Calabrian chilies, stirring to combine.
- Develop the sauce : Add garlic, the cooked beef, and tomato paste. Deglaze with white wine, then add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and whole milk. Season again with black pepper and nutmeg. Add the parmesan rind and an herb bundle.
- Simmer : Cover the pot and cook in the oven at 250°F for about 3 hours.
- Finish and Serve : Once the sauce is ready, boil the noodles until al dente. Remove the herb bundle and parmesan rind from the sauce. Finish the sauce by stirring in plenty of parmesan and butter. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce with some pasta water, more parmesan, and more butter. Stir until combined and serve.
