Preparation

Step 1

In a 6-quart pot, add extra-virgin olive oil. When almost smoking, add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until the onions become very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the celery and carrot and saute for 5 minutes.

Raise heat to high and add the ground beef. Saute, stirring frequently and breaking up any large lumps and cook until meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley and basil and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1/2 hour.

Finish bolognese with Pecorino Romano. Check for seasoning. Serve hot.
