Meat Sauce with Gluten-Free Pasta

This is my moms recipe with some of my tweeks, I use all olive oil instead of butter and oil and I use gluten-free pasta! Instead of eating this for dinner AJ and I bring it for lunch or eat after out workout for the perfect combo of protein and carbs! And it tastes so good!

What You'll Need:
4 tbsp olive oil
6 oz. onion, chopped
6 oz. carrot, chopped
6 oz. celery, chopped
1 lb. lean grass-fed beef
1 can (28 oz.) good crushed tomatos like San Marzano, can get at Whole Foods or Fresh Market
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/3 cup dry red wine
fresh basil leaves, about 8
celtic sea salt & ground pepper
1 lb. gluten-free pasta

Preparation:
In a medium pot, saute onion in 3 tbsp of the olive oil. Add celery and carrot. Saute for a bit before adding the garlic. Saute until golden and soft.
In a separate pan Saute beef in the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Drain any excess liquid.
Combine vegetables and meat.
Add wine until evaporated. Add sauce, basil, salt & pepper (to taste). Saute 30 minutes.
Ad meat sauce to cooked pasta and enjoy!
