Chop very finely onion, celery and carrot and stir fry in a pan with some oil.
Then add the ground meat or chopped with a knife, season with salt and pepper, and stir fry for about ten minutes over medium heat, fading with a glass of white wine and allowing it to evaporate.
At this point you add the tomato sauce (or alternatively the tomatoes, previously blanched, peeled and cut into small squares), and a bay leaf and cook slowly adding water or broth if it's necessary.
Mix the ragù occasionally with a wooden spoon, and the last half hour let it cook uncovered until you reach the perfect density.
The gnocchi can be prepared by adding in the dough a bit 'of nutmeg and chopped sage leaves.
