Pasta Bolognese

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 piece(s) Carrot (scrubbed and diced into 1/4-inch pieces)
• 1 cup Celery stalk (chopped into 1/4-inch pieces)
• 1 piece(s) Yellow onion (peeled and chopped into 1/4 inch pieces)
• 85 g Ground beef(85% lean)
• 1 cup Water
• 29 cups Low-sodium crushed or diced tomatoes (including liquid)
• 1 medium Low-sodium tomato paste
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 8 cup Whole wheat pasta
• 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Put skillet on the stove over medium heat and when it is hot, add oil.
2. Add carrot, celery, and onion and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown.
3. Raise the heat to high. Pinch off tablespoon-sized pieces of the beef and add a few at a time, stirring well between additions. Cook, breaking the meat apart until it is no longer raw, starts to give off liquid, and no longer clumps together, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the water, tomatoes, and tomato paste, stirring well. Cook about 10 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
5. Slowly stir in the milk, a little bit at a time. Turn the heat down to low and cook 45 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed.
