      Ingredient notes:

      Minced meat. In this recipe I use pork mince. Beef, mixed (beef and pork) mince, or turkey mince work just as well.

      Tomatoes. For the sauce you need canned tomatoes in their own juice. The ingredients should be only tomatoes, tomato juice, citric acid, and optionally salt. Pickled tomatoes with vinegar and sugar are not suitable.

      Onion. Use a regular yellow onion or, if necessary, a red onion.

      Butter. Gives the sauce a creamier flavor. Remember that for frying you should use butter with a high fat content — at least 82.5% — or clarified butter (ghee).

      Refined vegetable oil is also suitable.

      Milk. Normal fat content, about 2–3%. If you want a creamier taste, use 10% cream.

      Pasta. I used spaghetti, but in general practically any long or short pasta will work — linguine, bucatini, fusilli, penne, etc.

      Let’s proceed to cooking.

      Finely chop the onion and garlic, grate the carrot on a coarse grater. In a sauté pan melt the butter and fry the vegetables in it for about 5 minutes.

      Add the minced meat to the pan and fry, stirring constantly and breaking up the lumps with a spatula, until the meat loses its pink color.

      Add salt to taste, thyme, nutmeg, bay leaf, the tomatoes with their juice (break the tomatoes with a fork) and the milk.

      Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 20 minutes.

      While the sauce is cooking, boil the pasta. Dress with the finished sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan when serving.

      Enjoy your meal!
