This is an old family recipe handed down from my Nonna to my mom and now to me. Takes time but worth it.

- beef roast 4-5 pounds( any cut works) shopping list
- Olive oil about 1/4 cup shopping list
How to make it
- Put olive oil in a roaster or oven proof dish and heat on top of the stove on med. high heat. When the oil is warm add the onion,carrot and celery,sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and the turmeric and stir one minute.Add your herbs and stir one minute. Add your tomatoes, I put mine through the blender as I like a smooth sauce.Bring to a gentle boil, turn down the heat and add the tomatoe paste.Add salt and pepper to your taste and add the sugar.Let simmer un covered for 1/2 hour . Add the beef, put it in the oven at 325 degrees and cover it with the lid tilted so steam can escape. Cook for 2 and 1/2 -3 hours, uncover for the last 20 minutes so any water can evaporate. Your meat will be nice and tender plus you will have a very good pasta sauce.
- Footnotes.
- I use the San Marzano canned tomatoes as they have very little or no water.I have made this with both chicken and pork and it turns out very well.The sauce freezes well. For those that like cheese with their pasta put some grated Parmesan on the table.Remember to remove the bay leaves before serving. Very good served over Polenta also.

I bought a chuck roast and used this recipe to cook it. It turn out moist and delish! The flavor of the sauce was just right. I did not add all of the paste. I had used all but half as the sauce was really thick, however, while in the oven it thinned...more
