Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the celery stalks 15 cm from the core. Remove the outer leaves. Rinse well. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the celery cores, cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let excess water drain.

Step 2

In a deep skillet, place the sliced bacon and cook over low heat for a few minutes until the fat melts. Add the olive oil and heat it up. Then add the onion and carrot, sliced thinly. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the celery, pour in the wine and 250 ml of water. Cover with a lid and let it sit for an hour until the celery is tender. Crumble the bouillon cube.

Step 3

Remove the celery with a slotted spoon and do not let it cool. Transfer the sauce from the skillet to a blender and puree it, adding the tomato sauce and blending again. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little warm water.
