1. Pour a generous amount of oil into a pot over high heat.
2. Finely chop the onion and carrot, add them to the oil and fry for a couple of minutes.
3. Lower the heat, add the tomato sauce, a small amount of salt and a celery stick. Bring to a boil, then simmer for at least 30 minutes.
4. When the oil rises to the top and the sauce has reduced, add fresh basil, cover and take off the heat.
5. Bring salted water to a boil, add the spaghetti and cook for 2–3 minutes, covering the pot before it boils again.
6. Keep simmering until the pasta is al dente, then drain it.
7. Spread a little sauce and grated Parmesan on a plate, spoon the drained pasta on top.
8. Add another generous amount of sauce and cheese to the pasta and mix well.
9. Finish with a fresh layer of sauce and cheese on the plate and a fresh basil leaf on top.
