This traditional Italian sauce is packed with a rich combination of tender meats and savory herbs, creating a mouthwatering explosion of flavors. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making this delectable delight.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1/2 pound pancetta, diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, Italian sausage, and pancetta. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for about 8 minutes.

2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.

3. Pour in the red wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.

4. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer, partially covered, for at least 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

6. Season the ragù with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

7. Serve the Mixed Meat Ragù over your favorite pasta or use it as a filling for lasagna or baked ziti. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

• For added richness, you can substitute the ground beef with ground pork. Alternatively, use a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal.

• If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can transfer the cooked ragù to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree it.

• Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste. Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary can add an aromatic touch.

• Make a double batch of the ragù and freeze it in portions for future meals. It keeps well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
