Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, pork and veal mix
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
One can Italian crushed tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
1 handful basil leaves, shredded or torn
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
A few grates of nutmeg
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
4 hamburger or ciabatta rolls
Serves 4

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season the meat with plenty of salt and pepper. Form the meat into four patties that are thinner in the middle for more even cooking. Drizzle with EVOO.
  • In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons EVOO, two turns of the pan, over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more, then stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes; stir in the basil.
  • In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until medium-rare, 7-8 minutes.
  • While the patties are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk. Season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg, then cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
  • Spoon some red sauce on the roll bottoms, then top with the patties. Dollop the cheese sauce on the patties and set the roll tops in place.
