Here is how you make Simple Pasta Bolognese:

In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium flame. When almost smoking, add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is very tender, about 8 minutes. Add the celery and carrot and saute for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the ground beef, and saute until the meat is no longer pink, breaking up and large lumps, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes. Stir in the cheese, then season with salt and pepper to taste. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.Note: Parmesan can be used instead of the Pecorino Romano.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FITGIRL83.
