1 Rib Celery -- minced
½ pounds Lean ground beef
½ cup Dry white wine
⅓ cup No salt added tomato paste
1⅔ cup Low fat (1%) milk -- divided

3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Directions

Prep. Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking, over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrot, celery, and ⅓ cup water; cook until vegetables are tender and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in ground beef and cook until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add wine and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, ⅔ cup of milk, salt, pepper and oregano, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until the milk has been absorbed. Continue to cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, gradually adding the remaining 1 cup milk until all has been absorbed, about 20 minutes longer. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until just tender. Drain well. Transfer sauce to a large bowl. Add the pasta, parsley, if desired, and Parmesan and toss to combine. Spoon into 4 serving bowls and serve.
