I was uninspired and made my family's traditional spaghetti sauce, which comes, like all our pseudo-Italian traditions, from the non-Italian side of the family. (I say uninspired, but I don't remember when I last made it previously.) The below is slightly adapted from the recipe as my mother records it.

3rdragon made spinach burritos from Simply in Season.
1/4 c. olive oil (I didn't measure)
4 T butter or margarine (I omitted this)
1 onion, chopped (1 c.)
~1 lb. ground beef or turkey
4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
4 T parsley, chopped (I used herbes de Provence because I forgot there was parsley in the fridge)
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 large (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes (originally tomato puree)
1 medium (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 small (6 oz.) can tomato paste
3-4 stalks celery, chopped
2-3 carrots, chopped
Sauté the onion in the olive oil and butter until soft.
Add ground meat and sauté until brown, stirring to break up the meat.
Add garlic, parsley, and peppers; cook on low for 10 minutes.
Add tomato products, bring to a simmer, and add chopped carrots and celery.
Cover and cook on low/very low for an hour, stirring occasionally.
