To prepare the Cavatelli with Meat Sauce, start by washing, cleaning and finely chopping the celery, onion and carrot. Pour the extra virgin olive oil into a large pot and fry the chopped vegetables for a few minutes. Add the ground meat previously crumbled with your hands, stir to distribute evenly and cook for about 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and let it evaporate completely. Pour the tomato puree, season with salt, add water and mix. Lower the heat to a minimum and cook for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally to mix the ingredients. After the cooking time, pour the milk into the pot, stir again to mix and cook for another 30 minutes. Once the sauce is cooked, turn off the heat, cover with a lid and let it rest. Meanwhile, cook the cavatelli in salted water. Drain the cavatelli still al dente and add them to the pot with the sauce. Cook for a few minutes over low heat, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese to taste and serve the Cavatelli with meat sauce!
