Ingredients

  • 2 pounds quality ground beef
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 1 large carrot (grated)
  • 2 stalks of celery (chopped)
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 1/2 bottle of cooking wine (red)
  • 1 can crushed peeled tomatoes
  • olive oil
  • salt

Method

  • Start by sauteing the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in some olive oil until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
  • Add the ground beef and cook over a medium heat until the beef is browned. At this point add the wine.
  • Cook until all the liquid from the wine is gone and the alcohol aroma has disappeared. Now add the tomatoes and a cup of water. Allow this to cook down until the sauce reaches a thick consistency.
  • Season to taste. Serve up over pasta or spaghetti squash.
