| 8 ounces | extra lean ground beef (7% fat) |
| 3 Tbsp | tomato paste |

Place the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened slightly. Add the ground beef.
Cook until the beef is browned and add the tomato paste, water, salt, pepper, tarragon, thyme, bay leaves, oregano and sage.

When the sauce is nearly done place the water in a large sauce pan over high heat. When it boils add the fettuccine and cook until it is just tender. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Cook over low heat, tossing frequently, for about 2 minutes. Serve.

Sauce Bolognese is the most popular dish in England. I have read estimates that the average Briton eats pasta with Bolognese every week. Most of this is from a bottle, however. This is one of the easiest fresh sauces to make and so delicious. Start to finish it takes only about 20 minutes of cooking time for a fresh delicious sauce -- that's almost as fast as opening the bottle and heating it up.
