Peel and chop the onion. Peel the carrot, trim and wash the celery, then finely dice both. Peel, deseed, and finely dice the tomatoes. Finely dice the bacon or pancetta. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese. Melt the butter in a high-sided pan over low to medium heat and brown the minced meat. Now add the onion, carrot, celery, and bacon and fry briefly. Add the tomato paste, rosemary, and cinnamon and sauté briefly, then deglaze everything with red wine and meat broth. Add the tomatoes and bay leaf to the sauce and simmer (reduce) for about two hours over very low heat, until a ragù has formed or the sauce has thickened (add a little more meat broth if necessary). Finally, season with salt and pepper and serve with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with spaghetti.
