Tagliatelle with Bolognese Sauce

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven set over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, and let cook until slightly softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the carrot and celery, and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
  5. Meanwhile, put the ground meats in a large bowl, and pour the wine over the meat into the bowl.
  6. Use a fork to stir and crumble the meat to mix with the wine and break the meat into small clumps.
  7. Add the meat to the pot, season with 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break down the clumps, until the meat has given up all of its liquid.
  8. Increase heat to medium-high, and reduce away the liquid until you hear a crackling sound coming from the bottom of the pan, about 15 minutes in all.
  9. When the bottom of the pan is dry and the meat is lightly browned, pour in the tomatoes and slosh out the cans with 2 cups hot water.
  10. Pour that into the pot along with the bay leaves, and season with the peperoncino, cinnamon, and remaining salt.
  11. Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower the heat to a rapid simmer.
  12. Set the cover slightly ajar, and cook until the sauce is thick and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours, adding up to 4 cups more hot water during the cooking time to keep the meat covered in liquid.
  13. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for pasta.
  14. Heat half of the sauce in a large skillet (refrigerate or freeze the remaining sauce for another day!).
  15. Plop the tagliatelle into the boiling water.
  16. When the pasta is al dente, drain and transfer it directly into the simmering sauce.
  17. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce.
  18. Remove from heat, and toss in grated cheese.
  19. Serve immediately, passing more grated cheese.
