1 tablespoon minced garlic

Preparation
-
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until browned and the fat is rendered, about 4 minutes.
Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring, until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, nutmeg and thyme, and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, stir to deglaze the pan, and cook until the liquid is nearly all evaporated, about 3 minutes.
Add the shredded meat, tomatoes and gravy and simmer, stirring occasionally, over mediium heat until the sauce is thickened and flavorful, 20-30 minutes. Stir in the cream and parsley and adjust the seasoning according to taste. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and add to the pot with the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and toss to blend.
To serve, divide among pasa bowls and serve with the remaining cheese passed alongside.
