In a Dutch oven or casserole, pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of the
pan. Brown the beef on all sides. After the meat has browned nicely, add
the onions, celery and water, and bring to a boil. Add a little salt and
pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for approximately
3 hours. Remove the meat from pan and reserve. Cool onion mixture.

Cook perciatelli according to package directions, drain.

Place the cooked onions in a food processor or blender and pulse 23
seconds. Return to pan and add cheese and heat, stirring occasionally for
12 minutes.

Place pasta on a large dish and cover with onion gravy. Sprinkle additional
grated cheese, if desired. (The reserved meat can be cut into large pieces
and served as the main course, or can be shredded and served as a salad by
adding 2 crushed garlic cloves, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.)

Serves 4
