Step 1

In a large, deep saute pan, heat olive oil over high heat and add carrots, celery and onions. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add pancetta, and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add beef and cook another 2 minutes. Add pork and cook until meat is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Whisk together the tomato paste and 1 cup of the broth, and add it to meat. Place pan over low heat so that sauce just barely simmers. When broth has evaporated, add another cup. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally and adding a cup of broth when stew becomes dry, until all the broth has been added, about 3 hours.

Step 3

Add milk and butter, and continue to simmer very gently until milk is evaporated and sauce is very thick, about 1 1/4 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over tagliatelle or pappardelle.
