Classic Genovese Pesto

Saffron Risotto with Pistachio Oil

Lamb, Barley, and Pistachio Kofte (Turkish style)

The point of this dish was to take a classic Bolognese and make it with the meat of ruminants: goat, lamb, and beef. To add to the rumination, we also used goat milk instead of regular milk and a Pecorino for finishing off the dish. We love a lot of tomato flavor, but it is up to you how much you will want to add.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter or goat butter

1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped

1 stalk of celery, peeled and roughly chopped

½ onion, peeled and roughly chopped

½ lb ground lamb

½ lb ground goat

½ lb ground beef

1 cup white wine

3 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup goat milk

1 cup grated pecorino romano

400 g dried fettuccine or tagliatelle

Salt and Pepper

Chop the vegetables in a food processor until almost a puree, but with still a bit of texture.
Heat up the oil and butter in a heavy bottomed sauce pan.
Add the vegetables and sweat until translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the ground meats and stir. Cook until the meat is well browned. 
Pour in the wine and simmer until the alcohol has evaporated.
Add the tomato paste (you might have to adjust the quantity according to how tomato-y you would like it to be) and the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook at a very low simmer for about an 1 hour.  Bolognese sauces can take anywhere from 1-6 hours.  The longer the better, but 1 hour will produce a delicious sauce just the same. 

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Before you drain, scoop out about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the pasta and pour back into the pot. Pour in the cooking liquid to moisten the pasta and prevent if from clumping. Add the meat sauce and toss well.
Serve with the fresh pecorino on top.
