Directions:
- Finely chop the onion, celery, carrot and parsley.
- In a frying pan on medium heat, heat up the two tablespoons of olive oil, add the chopped ingredients and allow them to soften.
- Add the meat and mix everything together and cook over a gentle flame until the meat has changed color.
- Add the tomato purée or ripe, diced tomatoes. (Less tomato lets the meat flavor come through strongly; more tomato gives a more 'blended taste').
- Simmer gently for half an hour and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- If the mixture is too dry add a little more olive oil or tomato.
- Never add water.
- Cook the pasta, drain and pour into warm a bowl.
- Add the meat sauce, stir, and serve. Parmesan cheese is optional.
- Note:.
- You can make this sauce substituting mushrooms for the meat: about 6 oz. fresh mushrooms or 1 oz. of dried porcini mushrooms (soaked for 1 hour).
- Both these sauces are excellent with pasta and polenta.
- Serves 4 - 6.
