This slow-cooked bolognese ragù is rich, meaty and worth every minute. Red wine and pancetta give it a deep, savoury kick that clings perfectly to pasta. It's a winner.

Step 1.
Add the pancetta to a large, heavy-based pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Set it over a low-medium heat and cook gently until the fat is released and the pancetta starts to crisp.
Step 2.
Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, carrot and celery. Peel the garlic. Add everything to the pan along with a pinch of salt, the bay leaves and rosemary. Fry for 8-10 mins until the veg is soft and the pancetta is browned.
Step 3.
Tip the contents of the pan into a bowl and set aside. Return the pan to the heat, turn it up high and add the beef mince with a big pinch of salt. Break the mince up with the back of your spoon and fry until browned. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 3-5 mins until darkened.
Step 4.
Pour in the red wine and let it bubble away until reduced by half. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, then add one-third of the stock. Bring to the boil and bubble until reduced by half again.
Step 5.
Add the chopped tomatoes. Return the cooked pancetta and veg to the pan, pour in the milk and remaining stock, add the salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20-25 mins until thickened.
Step 6.
If you're prepping ahead, let the ragù cool to room temperature and chill overnight.

Why is the first step pre-heat the oven? It never uses an oven again.
