Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add Onion, Carrot and Celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes.
Step 2. Add Ground Beef, a little of the Salt and Black Pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high and break up the beef, cooking until browned with no pink remaining, about 8 minutes.
Step 3. Pour in Milk and simmer over medium heat, stirring, until mostly absorbed, about 4 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Canned Tomatoes and Water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich, about 60 minutes; add a splash of water if it sticks.
Step 5. Meanwhile, when the sauce has about 15 minutes left, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rest of the Salt and Spaghetti; boil until just tender, about 10 minutes or as directed on the package, then drain.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Toss the drained spaghetti with the ragù. Divide among plates and top with Parmesan, if using.

Tips

Make ahead

Refrigerate the ragù for up to 4 days and reheat until steaming before tossing with freshly cooked pasta.

Good to know

Ground beef is safely cooked at 160°F; check with an instant-read thermometer.

Swap it

Use a vegetarian hard cheese in place of Parmesan if avoiding animal rennet.
