Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 celery stalk, finely chopped (1/2 cup), plus leaves for serving
2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped (3/4 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound ground chicken (preferably a mix of white and dark)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
3/4 cup whole milk
1 can (14.5 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in juices, pureed
1 pound tagliatelle, pappardelle, or fettuccine
Freshly grated Parmesan and nutmeg, for serving

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Add onion, celery, and carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking into bite-size pieces, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 2 minutes. Add wine; boil until almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk and tomatoes; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water; return to pot. Add sauce, then pasta water, a little at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta. Drizzle with oil and top with celery leaves, cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg; serve.
