Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the carrots, celery, and onion and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and ground pork and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is browned, about 8 minutes.
2. Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, and pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Stir in the heavy cream and remove from heat.
3. Serve the bolognese over the cooked pasta and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
