Ingredients

Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1 large, finely chopped)
Carrot (1 medium, finely chopped)
Celery (1 stalk, finely chopped)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Ground beef (1 pound)
Ground pork (1 pound)
Tomato paste (2 tablespoons)
Canned crushed tomatoes (28 ounces)
Red wine (1 cup)
Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
Dried basil (1 teaspoon)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Fresh tagliatelle pasta (12 ounces)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef and ground pork to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, red wine, oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to develop the flavors. The longer it simmers, the richer the taste will become!
Meanwhile, cook the fresh tagliatelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain the pasta and add it to the pot with the ragu sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Serve the Tagliatelle al Ragu hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
