Method:

Finely chop the vegetables. Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery and bacon.
Sauté over medium heat until softened. This should take about six minutes.
Add the beef and pork mince and chopped oregano. Season and add nutmeg.
Brown the meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until the meat has lost its raw colour.
Pour in the red wine and half of the stock and bring to the boil.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has completely evaporated. Turn the heat down very low.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato purée and simmer, uncovered, for three hours, stirring occasionally.
Add more stock if needed. The sauce should be rich and smooth.
Toss the sauce with the drained pasta and serve with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan.
