Bolognese Sauce - Sunday Gravy With Meat - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 lb ground beef or 1/2 lb ground turkey
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
salt & fresh ground pepper
Garnish
flat leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
basil, chopped (optional)

Preparation

Using medium high heat preheat a large skillet that has been sprayed well with cooking spray or drizzled with enough olive oil to keep food from sticking.
Add the chopped onion, carrots and celery to the hot pan and saute until the carrots, celery and onions become tender and the onions become translucent, about 8 minutes.
Add the meat and stir continuously to break up any large chunks.
Once the meat is browned drain all fat and add sauce. Reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce thickens.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
This is great over pasta or in any recipe calling for spaghetti sauce. Wonderful garnished with grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and/or chopped basil.
Note: For a little extra richness, add a pat of butter to your cooked pasta or directly to the sauce!
