Cooking Steps
- Begin by drizzling olive oil into a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion, diced carrot, and celery, sautéing them for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Next, stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute. Then, incorporate the tomato paste, allowing it to release its robust flavors.
- Add the ground beef to the pan, cooking and stirring for 4-5 minutes until the meat is browned and no longer pink.
- Pour in the dry red wine slowly, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the alcohol evaporates, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the cinnamon, bay leaves, and crushed tomatoes, bringing everything to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and let it bubble gently.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Combine the cooked pasta with your delicious sauce in the pan, stirring well to coat every strand. Toss in the grated Parmesan and serve immediately.
