--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         extra lean ground beef
   1      cup           corn flakes cereal
   6      tablespoons   skim milk
     1/4  cup           celery -- finely chopped
   2      tablespoons   minced onion
   1      pinch         salt
     1/8  teaspoon      pepper
   1      dash          Worcestershire sauce
  30      ounces        tomato sauce
   4      tablespoons   brown sugar substitute -- or less
   1      piece         bay leaf
                        Fettucine
                        Grated Parmesan cheese

In large bowl combine meat, cereal, milk, celery, parsley, onion, salt and
pepper (OR: In food processor with chopping blade, chop until all
ingredients until thoroughly combined).  Shape into small balls, and brown
in non-stick fry pan(s) on all sides.

Add tomato sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and the bay leaf.  Stir to mix
ingredients and to remove flavourful brown particles from the bottom of
frying pan.  Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat, cover and
simmer at least 1 hour so that the flavours are enhanced.  Discard bay
leaf.  Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 minute.
