Spaghetti a la Bolognese

Made this dish today and it's really good and very simple to prepare.  Using pancetta, mushrooms, and aromatics really gave the sauce a rich flavor without using the typical beef.  Hope you like it.


Ingredients:
1 large sweet onion, diced
6oz pancetta
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
6oz of mushrooms
italian seasoning
1lb of ground turkey (italian flavored)
24oz can san marzano tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine (I used sangiovese)
spaghetti
2-3 tbsp tomato paste

Saute onions in olive oil. Add salt & pepper - sweat onions until translucent.   Add carrots, celery, garlic, mushrooms, pancetta, & desired italian seasoning - saute 3-4 minutes.  Add turkey and break up into tiny pieces.  When turkey is fully cooked, add wine and tomatoes and simmer for 30 - 45 minutes.  Taste test for flavor and adjust. Add tomato paste for desired consistency.  Serve with pasta and parmesan cheese.
