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 tomatoes and cook for 30 minutes.

TIP!
