Not all meat sauces require long cooking times. For example, in a dish from Food Network magazine, the meat sauce is made with ground veal (or ground turkey) and simmer for 20 minutes. Add to the fettuccine pasta along with a sauté of garlic, crushed tomatoes, and rosemary, and cook until done.

Ingredients:

• 450 g of ground veal or turkey
• 340 g fettuccine pasta
• 1 can (800 g) of tomato pulp
• 1 small carrot, cut into 4 pieces
• 1 stalk of celery, cut into 4 pieces
• 1/2 head of onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
• Salt and ground pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a food processor, pulse until finely chopped, combine celery, carrots, garlic and rosemary.
  
  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped vegetables and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, 3-5 minutes.
Step 2
• Add the ground meat, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, milk, 1 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Drain, then toss with half of the meat sauce (about 3 cups). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  
  Advice: Use the remaining meat sauce for stuffed peppers; preparing the filling in advance will save you time next time and allow you to switch up the dishes.
