In a large saucepan, add the olive oil and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, celery, and garlic and cook until tender. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat the low, cover, and reduce to low heat. Let the sauce simmer for 40 minutes.
Remove the sauce from the heat and serve immediately, or let it cool completely.
