2 tablespoons (ml.30) extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 onion 1/2 carrot 1/2 stalk of celery with leaves 8 ounces (gr.225) ground beef 1/3 cup (ml.75) tomato paste 3 cups (ml.750) whole tomatoes finely chopped 3/4 cup (ml.175) red wine salt to taste
If you double the ingredients for this meat sauce, you can make a few jars and freeze them for those moments when you don't have time for cooking.If there's no time to simmer classic, traditional bolognese sauce, this could be your satisfying rustic spaghetti sauce that can be made in less than 30 minutes.
While rich bolognese sauce is best with fresh egg pasta this rustic meat sauce is best with any dry pasta as rigatoni, macaroni, penne and of course with lasagna. 
| Preparation: easy 30 minutes |
1. Put on your stove a saucepan large enough to hold all the ingredients. Over medium heat pour the olive oil; then add the finely chopped onion, celery and carrot; fry to golden brown.
2. At this point add the ground beef and mix with a wooden spoon, then bring to brown. Add the tomato paste and stir well until it's absorbed by the meat, then salt it to your taste.
3. Over low heat pour the wine in, stir and bring it to vaporize. Now you can add all the finely chopped tomato and cook for 30 minutes.
Remember to stir occasionally and if the sauce becomes to dry you can add some water.
