Steps:

• Finely chop the onions, carrot & celery.
• Add the olive oil & butter to a deep frying pan and place over a medium-high heat.
• Add the onions to the frying pan and sauté until they turn a light golden colour.
• Add the carrots & celery and continue sautéing until they change colour.
• Add the minced beef and a large pinch of salt & stir until all of the meat has browned.
• Add the wine & stir occasionally, until it has completely evaporated.
• Once the wine has evaporated, add the milk and nutmeg & stir occasionally, until it also has completely evaporated.
• Once the milk has evaporated, add the chopped tomatoes & stir.
• Once the tomatoes begin to bubble, turn down the heat to very low and allow to simmer uncovered for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• (Add water if/when the ragu absorbs all of the liquid to prevent it from burning. You can repeat this many times; it is better to add little and often than add a lot at once).
• Once the ragu has been cooking for several hours and has reached its desired rich, creamy, silky smooth consistency, prepare your "base".
• Place a saucepan of water over a high heat and wait for it to boil.
• Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti, a splash of olive oil and pinch of salt, & boil for 10 minutes.
• Taste the spaghetti to check it has softened to your personal taste and, once it has, turn off the heat for both the spaghetti and ragu & plate up.
• Serve with grated parmesan.
• Enjoy!
