BOLOGNESE SAUCE (EASY ONE FROM WILLIAM SONOMA CATALOGUE)

  • 1 yellow onion, diced

  • 2 pounds ground chuck

  • 6 oz. tomato paste

  • 1 cup milk

  • ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 1 lb. spaghetti cooked

Brown bacon/pancetta until crisp.  Add onion, ½ t. salt and cook till tender.  Add ground
beef and 1 t. salt and cook stirring occasionally until beef is no longer pink.
About 5 minutes.  Stir in tomato paste, milk and 1/3 cup cheese.  Cook 1-2 hours
