• 1/2 large carrot, peeled and grated or finely chopped

• 1 small to medium onion, chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, 2 chopped or grated, 1 peeled

• 1/2 teaspoon allspice, a couple of pinches  <--- I don't think I used this...(I made this over a month ago lol)

• Freshly ground black pepper

• 1 bay leaf

• 3 tablespoons tomato paste

• 1/2 cup dry red wine  <---- Nope

• 2 cups beef stock

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 3 tablespoons flour

• 2 cups milk

• Nutmeg, to taste

• 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus some to pass at table

• A handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped  <--Didn't have it...



Directions


Heat large pot of water to a boil, salt water and cook pasta to al dente Or however you like it =)

While pasta water comes to a boil, heat olive oil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, add pancetta (Bacon)  and render 2 to 3 minutes then add meat and break up as it browns.
When the meat has begun to caramelize and develops a nice brown color, 4 to 5 minutes, add carrot, onion, 2 cloves of garlic, allspice (Nope), salt and pepper and a bay leaf.
Cook 3 to 4 minutes more to soften onions and carrots bits then stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in wine (Didn't use) and cook out 1 minute then stir in stock and reduce heat to simmer. 
I just added more stock since I didnt use the wine.

While red sauce cooks, cut remaining whole clove of garlic and rub the inside of a medium sauce pot with it. Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add in flour and whisk together a minute or so then whisk in milk and bring to a bubble, reduce heat then season sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg, thicken 8 to 10 minutes.

Toss pasta with white sauce and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Serve pasta in individual bowls and top with a ladle of meat sauce in the middle of the bowl for mixing in. Garnish with parsley.

ENJOY!!!!! We sure did hahahahaha
