You need for a big pot:

2lbs ground beef
4 carrots
1/2 round celery
1 leek
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
red wine (at least half a bottle)
canned tomatoes
tomatoe puree
salt, pepper, herbs
sugar

Cut the veggies in really small pieces. Heat some oil in a big pot. Put the veggies in, first the onions and garlic, then the rest. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Take it out. Again heat some oil and add the ground beef. Let it get brown and crumbly. Add some tomato puree. Add the veggies again and then the wine and the canned tomatoes. Add salt, pepper and the herbs and also a dash of sugar. Let it simmer for some hours, stirring it every now and then. The longer it is simmering the better.

Cook the spaghettis, grind parmesan cheese
Taste the sauce, add salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve and enjoy
