  fine in food processor

Saute beef in large pot until browned.  Add garlic, onion,
carrot, celery, basil, parsley and seasonings.
Add just enough flour to make a roux with excess fat.  Cook about five more minutes.  Then add tomatoes and red wine.  Cook about 45 minutes to an hour at a simmer.  At the end add ½ cup of “white wash” (water and flour mixed to make a slightly thick liquid) through a strainer.  Cook about 10 more minutes.  Then add parmesan and cream before serving.
