Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Remove stems from mushrooms. Cut into quarters and toss into food processor. Chop finely, 8-10 1-second pulses.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it smokes. Add onion and mushrooms and saute until soft and very brown, 6-12 minutes.
  3. Pulse milk and bread in food processor until it forms a paste, about 8 pulses. Add salt and pepper. Add beef and pulse until just combined, about 6 pulses.
  4. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and tomato paste to saucepan. Deglaze with 1/4 cup of the reserved tomato juices (discard or consume the rest). Add 2 tsp fresh oregano (if using dried oregano, add all of it now) and stir well.
  5. Add meat mixture and stir until no longer pink, but not yet brown. Add drained, diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. Stir well, and simmer gently 30 minutes.
  6. Add remaining fresh oregano and Parmigiano cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve over pasta.
