INSTRUCTIONS
Warm olive oil in a heavy pan. Add chopped onion and cook slowly
until it is translucent and becoming golden in colour. Add whole
cloves of garlic -- do not chop as flavour may be overpowering for
some tastes. Cook for a few moments on a low temperature. Add ground
veal, stirring and breaking it up as it browns. Stir in the tomato
paste to bind the meat and saute well. Add tomato sauce all at once.
If unsalted, add a pinch of salt. Season -- add freshly ground pepper
to taste. Add a generous pinch of dried oregano -- which has a more
intense flavour and aroma than fresh. Add fresh or dried bay leaves.
Add fresh basil leaves -- never chop the basil because it will bruise
and discolour -- tear the leaves instead. Simmer the sauce on low
heat for a minimum of 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve
with cooked pasta such as rigatoni. Buon appetito! Serves 8.
