My Bolognese meat sauce

In a Large Dutch Oven or a Large Sauté Pan

Sauté Pan

Sauté the diced celery, diced carrots, diced onions and 5 cloves of diced
Garlic, again sweat them till they are soft and tender,

2) Now the ground meat a little at a time

3) cook and keep breaking the meat up with a spatula,
cook the meat through, and drain any fat if you see it at the bottom of
the pot.

4) Add sauce to cover all the meat ( only after the meat
is cooked and drained of fat.)

5) Add 1 cup of red wine

6) Simmer for 2 hours on low heat, make sure it is on
very low heat.

Make the pasta, and drain and serve with the sauce on top
of the pasta, than add the meat sauce on top of that then add cheese and
then parsley.
