TOMATO MEAT SAUCE FOR PASTA - LOW FAT!

Steps:

• Crumbled ground beef, and pre-cook in dutch oven (DO NOT brown, just render the fat/water).
• Drain pre-cooked beef (I do this in a strainer lined with paper towels). Wipe extra grease/water from bottom of pan with a paper towel.
• Chop onion and celery; finely dice carrot.
• Sauté onion and EVOO in dutch oven on low heat, until onion is translucent (be careful not to let onion get brown; this makes it bitter, which makes the sauce bitter. If it gets brown, throw it out & start again!).
• Add carrot, celery, and salt, continuing to sauté until all veggies soften, stirring often.
• Add beef, tomato, herb/spice. Stir. Cover and raise heat until sauce is simmering.
• Turn heat down to lowest possible. Continue to simmer, covered, for at least an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
• If heat is too high, or pot not well-insulated, water may need to be added.
• Add chopped parsley when you turn off the heat -- FINISHED!
• Note: Flat-edged wooden spatulas are best for lifting sugar-laden ingredients (i.e. veggies & tomato sauce) from the bottom of a pot.
• Alt: If you're not picky about fat, skip the 'pre-cook beef' step, and add beef directly to cooked veggies.
