Italian Ragú Bolognese
Here is a basic idea of how to make simple tomato based meat sauces to go with pasta or polenta. Make your own version by adapting it to your style.
You can make it with lamb, beef or pork. If you like hot and spicy, you can add chilli flakes. If you don’t want meat in it, make it with mushrooms for example.

1 onion, chopped finely
1 carrot, chopped
1 stick celery, chopped
1 tbsp tomato concentrate (if you have it)
300 grs minced meat,
200ml white wine
200 ml tomato puree
1 tsp oregano, dry or fresh
salt and pepper to taste

Gently fry in 1 tablespoon of oil the onion, celery and carrot in a saucepan for 10 minutes, add some salt to help draw the water out of the onion. When the vegetables are soft and beginning to brown, add the meat and break it up with a fork as you brown it all over. Add the tomato concentrate if you are using it.

Now add the rest of ingredients and let it cook down for 30 to 50 minutes, until reduced.
