Red Wine Meat Sauce with Pasta

1 lb. Pasta
1 onion, quartered
1 celery stalk, quartered
1 carrot, peeled, quartered
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. dried oregano
kosher salt
ground pepper
1/4 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
1 15oz. tomato sauce
2 Tbsp. butter, cold
Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, process onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high. Add chopped vegetables, beef, and pork and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until meat is beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, oregano, kosher salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, until reduced by half, about 1 minute more. Stir in tomato sauce, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.

Remove from heat, then stir in butter. Toss meat sauce with pasta, top with Parmesan, and season with pepper.
