Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, minced
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound lean ground beef
½ pound ground pork
1 (28 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes
½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces tomato sauce
2 carrots, shredded
1 stalk celery, chopped
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup chicken stock
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound pasta

Directions

Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, bacon, and garlic in hot oil until bacon is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
Place the same large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Stir bacon mixture, tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato sauce, carrots, celery, wine, stock, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper into meat mixture. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer sauce for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook in boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
Serve sauce over hot pasta.
