Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion, 1 grated carrot, and 1 finely diced celery stalk. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Step 2: Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 pound of ground meat. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Step 3: Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes, until reduced by half.
- Step 4: Stir in 1 cup of milk or heavy cream. Simmer while stirring frequently. Add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, followed by salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 5: Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 6: Once thickened, stir in 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
- Step 7: Serve hot over your favorite pasta, garnishing with extra grated cheese or black pepper.

Notes
Simmering for longer enhances the sauce's complexity. Always use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
