bowl, combine the meat. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. When the  
oil is hot, add the meat and brown for 4 to 6 minutes. Add the onions,  
celery, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or  
until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and tomatoes. Season with salt  
and pepper. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the tomato paste with  
the stock and add to the tomatoes. Add the thyme, bay leaves, oregano, basil  
and red pepper. Mix well. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to

pepper and stir in the cheese. Remove from the heat and let sit for 15
