Ingredients

1/4	cup	olive oil, extra-virgin
1	small	carrot
1	small	onion
1	small	celery stalk
1	large	garlic clove
1	pound	italian sausage
1/3	pound	ground beef
6 1/2	ounces	pancetta	diced
1/2	teaspoon	salt
1/2	teaspoon	black pepper	freshly ground
1/4	teaspoon	nutmeg	freshly grated
1/2	cup	red wine	dry
1/2	cup	tomato paste
1	cup	italian plum (roma) tomatoes	chopped
2	tablespoons	parsley leaves	chopped

Directions

Chop the vegetables.

Soak the porcini in warm water for at least 1/2 hour.

Remove from the water, squeeze dry and chop.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole, heat the olive oil over moderate heat.

Add the carrot, onion and celery and sauté until the onion is golden, about 4 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the sausage, ground beef and pancetta to the pan.

Cook over moderate heat, stirring to break up the meat, until the beef and sausage are no longer pink.

Drain off any fat.

Season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Pour in the red wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until it evaporates, about 5 minutes.

Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, porcini and 1/2 cup of warm water.

Simmer for 30 minutes.

If the sauce gets too thick, add a little more water.

Cover and refrigerate; reheat before serving.

Add the parsley just before serving.
