Heat oil in a large dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add carrot, celery, and onion, and saute for 10-12 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
Add the beyond beef and cook for 8-10 minutes until darker in color and cooked through. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the crushed tomato and ½ cup liquid.
Stir, bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and cover. Let simmer for an hour or two, stirring occasionally.
Stir in cream and nutmeg, then serve.
Cover cooked noodles with the sauce, and stir together if you like. I do this in a bowl and mix each portion with tongs.
Garnish with fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan, optional.

Beef is traditional in this recipe so feel free to use that if you like to eat beef. You could also use a beef and pork mix.

For a second vegetarian option, you could use finely chopped mushrooms or cooked lentils instead of the Beyond Beef.

This sauce tastes better with a long cooking time but you can serve after half an hour or so if you're short on time.

Leftovers are even better. Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.

Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, until hot, stirring occasionally.
