  3. Turn up the heat and add the minced beef until brown.
  4. At last, add the two glasses of wine and stay at boiling point until the volume goes down by a third.
  5. Decrease the temperature, add the celery and add the tomatoes (canned or fresh).
  6. Cover and let it simmer for one hour, while occasionally stirring.
  7. Serve it over hot pasta. Optionally, you can also cook it adding mushrooms to the mix.
