Step 1:
Heat the olive oil, butter, celery, carrots and onion in a large pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Step 2:
Add the meat and cook until there are no signs of pink. Remove from the heat and try to drain off any extra fat.
Step 3:
Return the pot to the heat and add the wine. Cook until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
Step 4:
Add the milk and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, until the milk is almost gone.
Step 5:
Put the tomatoes and the broth into the pot. Add the salt and pepper.
Step 6:
Simmer, uncovered, for three hours, checking occasionally to make sure that the sauce does not dry out. If the sauce gets too dry, add broth.
Step 7:
Check the sauce for seasoning and add more to taste.
Step 8:
Cook the pasta according to package directions and then drain. Place the pasta in a large serving bowl and ladle the sauce over the top.
Step 9:
Sprinkle with the parsley and cheese and serve
