Preparation
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan, before adding the onion, celery, carrot and garlic. Fry gently for 10 minutes.
Add the beef mince and fry for a further 5 minutes, until browned. Stir in the stock, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Break the tomatoes up a little in the pan as you stir.
Bring to the boil. Place the lid on the pan and simmer on medium, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
Add the pasta to the pan, stir and simmer quite rapidly with the lid off, stirring occasionally. After 10 minutes the sauce will have reduced and the pasta will be nearly cooked. Place the lid back on the pan, turn the heat right down and simmer gently for 5 more minutes or until the pasta is tender. Stir in the parsley and serve.
