One Pot Pasta Bolognese

This Pasta Bolognese is almost as simple as our Super Easy Pasta & Meatballs, with a few extra ingredients but so deliciously complex in flavors. We simplified the original recipe so that it's almost a dump & go recipe. Another super quick and yummy weeknight dinner for the whole family!

• 1 stalk of celery, chopped
