| 1. Heat olive oil over low heat in a pot large enough to hold all ingredients. Add butter and simmer until melted. | 2. Add onions and sauté until lightly browned. | 3. Add ground beef and bacon. Sauté until browned. | 4. Drain fat from bacon and beef. (The actual recipe says to leave the fat in, but I don't like all the extra oil and fat). | 5. Add garlic, parsley, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes. | 6. Add wine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. | 7. Add tomatoes or tomato sauce, paste, and 1/2 water. | 8. Bring mixture to boiling point. | 9. Add the chopped carrot. | 10. Cover and cook over very low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Sometimes my mother let it sit over low heat all afternoon. | 11. About 20 minutes before the sauce is ready, begin cooking pasta. | 12. Once the pasta is cooked reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain. | 13. Stir in 1/2 cup of pasta water to the sauce and cook just a few minutes over low heat. | 14. Serve sauce over pasta. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
