Add the bacon to the pot, and cook until crispy.
Remove the bacon from the pot, and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel. Reserve.

Cook the beef until completely browned. Strain, and remove the ground beef from the pan. Reserve.
Discard the left over fat in the pan.

PREPARING THE BOLOGNESE
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Add the minced garlic as well. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add the minced basil, oregano, and rosemary. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Deglaze with the red wine, and cook until reduced by 3/4.
Return the crispy bacon and browned ground beef to the pan.
Add the remaining ingredients (peeled tomatoes, bouillon cube, minced parsley, and parmesan cheese).
Turn the heat down to low, and allow the sauce to cook for 2 hours.
Stir the sauce occasionally, and continue to taste. Add the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
