1 cup finely chopped onion
1 lb. ground beef
4 strips bacon, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh snipped parsley

1 large carrot, grated
2 ribs celery, finely chopped

Recipe

Warm olive oil & butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion and saute until golden. Add ground beef and bacon, saute until browned, stirring to break up the beef. Add garlic, parsley, salt, red & black pepper - cook over low heat for at least 10 minutes. Add wine, cover and steam for a few minutes more; then add tomatoes and puree. Bring to boiling, add carrots & celery, cover and simmer over very low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally. Serve over hot cooked pasta - top with grated fresh parmesan, if desired.

Serves four.
