Preparation

Step 1

Heat a 12" straight-sided pan over medium. Add the butter and olive oil. Add the onion, carrots, celery and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté, low, until very tender – 10 minutes or so. Add the meats, a small pinch of salt and cook low until cooked through – not really looking for any browning. Pour in the wine, raise the heat and let wine bubble a minute or two. Add the tomatoes, water/juice and bay leaf.

Maintain the sauce at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until very rich and thick – 2-2-1/2 hours. Add cream about an hour or 1 1/2 hours in. Grate in some nutmeg.

Serve over tagliatelle with grated cheese on the side.
