Bolognese Sauce

Bolognese sauce can be made in different ways, so I'm posting a slightly different version here than I had from a previous post. I made this recently and brought a bowl of Pasta with Bolognese sauce to the woman who cuts
my hair. Kelly shot me a text and said, "YUM!! Just eating it now and LOVE it! I want the recipe." Then she decided to question whether or not I actually made it. Well here it is....

1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Celery Stalks Chopped
4 Carrots Chopped
1 Onion Chopped
3/4 Pound Ground Beef
1/2 Pound Ground Veal
1/2 Pound Ground Pork
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Can plain tomatoes sauce (I used Pastene Chunky Style)
6 Basil Leaves
2 Bay Leaves
Salt
Black Pepper
Nutmeg




In a large pot, heat the oil and saute the onion, carrots and celery. Season with salt and pepper. When the Veggies are translucent, add the meats. Sprinkle the nutmeg over the meats and season the meats with salt and pepper. Brown the meat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the meat from sticking to the pot. Once the meat is browned, add the cup of heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sauce, basil, and bay leaves and mix well. Simmer on low for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste.
