Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large deep saute pan, heat the oil and add the carrots, celery and onion. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the veal, pork, Aleppo pepper, garlic and bay leaf and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking the chunks of meat with a spatula, until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the wine, tomatoes and tomato paste and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the demi-glace, cream and sage and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve over pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tip
  • Aleppo pepper is available at specialty stores or by mail from Adriana's Caravan, (800) 316-0820.
