Cut a small cross in the bottom of each tomato. Dip them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then place them directly in a bowl of ice water for 30 seconds. Remove the skin. Next, heat a splash of olive oil in a pan and add the tomatoes. Let this simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Then puree the sauce with a hand blender until smooth; this will ensure a rich, concentrated flavor later.
Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet. Fry the minced meat over medium-high heat until nicely browned. Scoop the meat out of the pan and set aside.
In the remaining fat, sauté the onion and garlic for about 8 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and fry briefly.
Add the San Marzano tomato sauce to the vegetables. Mix in the sugar and dried herbs and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the red wine and milk, crumble the bouillon cubes over the pan and stir well. Finally, add the fried minced meat back in.
Now let the sauce simmer gently for at least 5 1/2 hours on low heat with the lid slanted over the pan. Stir occasionally so that nothing cooks. Add salt and pepper if necessary. When the sauce becomes completely dry, add a little water.
