Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 900 g of ground meat mixture (equal proportions of ground beef, pork, veal, or ground turkey)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1.5 cups of white wine
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 cups of milk
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Preparation:
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and cook, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until all the liquid has evaporated and the meat is dry, 10-12 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, for about 4 minutes. Add the wine and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Simmer the sauce until the liquid has reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
- Add milk, cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Then drain the pasta and immediately transfer it to serving plates. Top with Bolognese sauce and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan and parsley.
