Spaghetti Alla Bolognese

For this divine Bolognese, you'll need: 







1 pound ground beef(15% or 20% fat). 
1 large yellow onion.
2 large carrots.
3 large celery sticks.
1 jar of good tomato sauce(such san marzano tomatoes or your favorite brand).
1 cup of cheery tomatoes.
1 tablespoon tomato paste.
2 parmeseano regianno rinds.
Parmeano Reggiano cheese(the more the better!).
1 table spoon butter.
1 table spoon extra virgin olive oil.
2 cups of beef broth(i used beef bouillons).
Fresh thyme leaves.
1/2 cup of milk. 
Basil and/or Parsley for garnish.
2 bay leaves. 
1/2 tea spoon ground nutmeg.
1/2 cup of good red wine.
1/2 tea spoon of dried oregano.
Garlic cloves.
Ciabata or fresh baguette bread. 
White pepper.
Kosher or sea salt
Good spaghetti brand(dried or fresh, i prefer dry pasta because 'al dente' pasta ROCKS!)  


Optional but highly recommended;  A kick ass Italian red wine, such as Barolo, Barbesco or Chianti to sip on while you're cooking and eating.
