Pasta Bolganese

I don't know how authentic this was but it was incredible. So, my version of Pasta Bolagese

1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
2 cloves garlic (or a spoonful of the pre-chopped kind)
3 carrots
1 stalk of celery
1/2 and onion
1/4 of a red pepper
1 cup dry white wine (or sake)
1 small can tomato paste
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup cream or milk
fresh basil
fresh Parmesan
1 bag of pasta

Brown turkey in skillet. Chop all vegtables and place in another large skillet with olive oil and saute over medium heat for 7-8 minutes, till just soft. Add wine and reduce down for 4-5 minutes. Add tomato paste as stir till combined. Add meat and chicken broth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced and thickened, about ten minutes. Add milk or cream and cook for a minute longer, just to heat up the milk. server over pasta Top with freshly cut basil and shredded Parm. Enjoy your super tasty dinner and rocking culinary skills.

FYI - we love fresh Parmesan cheese but don't have a grater, we like the big slices, so we buy whole chunks of parm cheese and use our potato peeler to slice paper-thin slices off the block. The flavor difference between that and the pre-shredded stuff is phenomenal. It only takes another minute or so and it is so worth it.
