Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and celery, and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Step 2

Stir in garlic, oregano, and basil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste.

Step 3

Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 4

Stir in tomatoes and sugar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 10-15 minutes.*

Step 5

Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan and butter until melted, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve with desired pasta.

Chef’s notes

*TO FREEZE:

Let cool completely; portion into plastic freezer bags in individual servings, squeezing out any excess air before sealing. Lay the bags flat in a single layer in the freezer (this will help them freeze quickly). To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge, reheating over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
