  • Purée the tomatoes in a blender. Cut the bacon, carrot, onion, and celery into small dice. Finely chop the garlic. Heat two-thirds of the vegetable oil and fry the ground beef for 5–7 minutes, until it's browned and crumbly. Transfer it to a separate plate. Add the rest of the oil and fry the bacon in it for 4 minutes. Once the bacon turns golden, add the onion, celery, and carrot, cook 5–7 minutes, then add the garlic, stir, and cook 1 more minute. Now return the beef to the pan, pour in the wine, and keep it over the heat a while longer to cook off the alcohol. Add the puréed tomatoes and the tomato paste, stir, and bring to a boil. Add the oregano, pepper, thyme, salt, and sugar. Stir, add the broth (or water), and keep simmering, covered, over low heat for an hour and a half (the sauce should barely bubble). After that, uncover, pour in the milk, stir, and simmer 30 minutes more until thickened. Your wonderful sauce is ready! Use it with pleasure — and keep sharpening those cooking skills!
