  • In a large heavy bottom saucepan, add the oil and pancetta. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until crisp. Add the ground beef in wine and brown in the pan for 6-8 minutes making sure that all the meat begins releasing its juices and all of the liquid has disappeared. Sauté until just golden.
  • Next, stir in the diced onion, sauté for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a minute stirring often. Add the diced celery and carrots and cook about 5 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper. Once everything has sautéed, add the tomato sauce. Bring to a quick boil and lower the heat to simmer. Cover and cook about 20-25 minutes. Before removing from stove, taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  • Cook pasta according to package direction, strain and place in pan with sauce. Stir well, top with grated cheese and parsley.
