Heat olive oil in a wide 4 quart pan over medium heat.

Add chopped vegetables. Cook until tender and aromatic – about 3 minutes.

Add beef. Cook until browned. Break up pieces as it cooks – about 3-4 minutes.

Add veal. Cook until browned. Break up pieces as it cooks – about 3-4 minutes.

Add wine. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until it is evaporated.

Stir in tomato paste and then add ground tomatoes.

Add bay leaves and salt and pepper. Cook until bubbly.

Turn down heat – so sauce is just at a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. Adjust heat as needed. Cook until thick and dark colored – about 2-3 hours.

If needed, add hot water to keep meat covered.

Serve over hot tagliatelle or other wide noodle with dollop of ricotta cheese in the middle.
