Ingredients
Preparation
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, onion, garlic and salt; cook stirring occasionally until tender, about 5 min. Remove sausages from casings and add to pan along with ground beef. Use a fork to break up meat; stir continuously over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5 min. Add milk. Gently boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally 5 min.
Add tomatoes, mashing with a potato masher to break them up. Add parsley and chili flakes, if using mild sausage. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally 30 min or until the thickness desired.
Tips
When cooking pasta, use a big pot, salt water generously and don’t add oil to the water.
Let the kids pick the pasta shape, as this sauce works with any type – short or long.
Use only ground beef and double up on the spices.
