Bring a large deep saucepan, half- filled with water, to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and follow directions on package until cooked al dente. Drain pasta and set aside.

While pasta is boiling, brown the ground beef in a nonstick saucepan over
medium-high heat. Once that is almost cooked through, add the garlic and
cook until the meat is completely browned. Add the onion, celery and
carrot to the beef mixture and let the ingredients cook together for about
5 minutes.

Except for the pasta, add all remaining ingredients to the beef mixture, cover the saucepan and lower heat to simmer. Simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes. Stir in the cooked pasta and continue to simmer 15 minutes more.
