Finely chop the carrot, celery, onion.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil to a large pot and add the vegetables, saute until the vegetables have softened but not browned (5-10 minutes).

Step 3

Next, add the sausage meat and ground beef and cook until browned. Then add the red wine and reduce by half.

Step 4

Add the strained tomatoes (passata) and stock and stir to combine. Cover the pot and simmer slowly for 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent burning on bottom.
