Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to absorb moisture and help brown the meat.

Mix in minced garlic, chopped onion, carrots, celery, and diced red bell pepper.

Add dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaf, and optional chili flakes; sauté everything together.

Stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons of tomato paste and a bit of sugar to balance acidity.

Add 3 cans of canned stewed tomatoes and chicken stock; let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Season with patis (fish sauce) and freshly cracked black pepper.

Add Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce.

Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
