Directions

1
Clean, peel and wash the carrot and celery and peel the onion and garlic. Cut everything into very fine cubes. Wash the oregano, shake dry and pluck the leaves.
2
Cut the bacon into small cubes and fry it crisply in a pan without fat. Stir-fry the minced meat for 5-8 minutes until finely crumbly. Add vegetables, onion and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes more. Stir in tomato paste and sauté briefly.

Add wine, bring to the boil and reduce by half.

Add the tomatoes and juice and chop a little with the spatula. Stir in oregano, bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
5
Meanwhile cook the spaghetti in 3-4 l boiling salted water (1 teaspoon salt per litre) according to the instructions on the packet. Grate the parmesan.
6
If the sauce has been boiled down too much, stir in some pasta water (4-5 tablespoons). Season to taste with salt, pepper and 1/2-1 tsp. sugar.
7
Drain the pasta, put it back into the pot and mix with the sauce. Serve and sprinkle with parmesan.
