Pasta with Bolognese Sauce

I think this is a great recipe for sneaking vegetables into a kid's diet. (Just make sure you chop everything very small.)


Ingredients:
 12 oz ground beef or bulk sweet Italian sau-sage
 1 C chopped onion
 1/2 C chopped green sweet pepper
 1/4 C chopped celery
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 4 C tomatoes, chopped (6 large) OR 2 (14 1/2 oz) cans diced tomatoes
 1 (6 oz) tomato paste
 1/4 C cooking red wine
 2 T fresh parsley
 1 t dried basil, crushed
 1 t dried oregano
 1/2 t dried marjoram
 1 t sugar
 3/4 C whipping cream
 10 to 12 oz pasta

Instructions:
1. In a large pan, cook the ground beef or sausage, onion, sweet pepper, celery, and garlic until the meat is brown and onion is tender.
2. Drain fat.
3. Stir in fresh or undrained canned tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, parsley, basil, oregano, marjoram, sugar, 1/2 t salt, and 1/4 t pepper.
4. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover, simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Uncover, simmer 10 to 15 minutes more or to desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
6. Meanwhile, cook pasta.
7. Stir in cream; heat through.
8. Serve sauce over pasta.
