Ingredients
- 1 Celery Stalk
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Yellow onion
- 1 lb Grass Fed Organic Lean Beef I recommend 10% fat
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 14 oz Whole Canned Tomatoes
- 2 oz Parmesan, grated freshly grated or high quality only
- 1 slice of parmesan rind- about 1" long
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Fat Free Cream or half and half
Instructions
- Let's mince the vegetables. You want to grab your celery, carrot and onion and make sure they are VERY finely minced. If preferred, you may use a food processor to speed it up!
- Add some olive oil to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Once it is hot, add your vegetables. Saute for about 6-8 minutes or until onions become translucent.
- Add your ground beef and be sure to ground up the beef well. Saute for about 6-8 minutes until brown on all sides. Don't let it cook completely.
- Add the white wine to the pan. Let it completely dissolve. This should take atleast 10 minutes.
- While that is cooking, take out your whole tomatoes and dice them up roughly. Once the wine is evaporated, add the tomatoes and its sauce to the pan. Add 1 tsp of salt, the bay leaf, the cream, grated parmesan cheese and the parmesan rind. Let it simmer lightly for 30 minutes.
- Remove the rind and bay leaf. Sprinkle with more parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite pasta.
