Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot. Add the finely chopped carrots, celery and onion. Season with kosher salt.

Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook 2-3 more mins.

Remove the softened vegetables (they shouldn't have any color on them) to a separate bowl and add the pancetta to the Dutch oven.

Add the ground meat to the Panetta and cook until it is just browned but still soft. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 mins.

Add the vegetables back to the pot and stir in the wine. Cook until most of the wine is absorbed.

Cook this sauce loooow and sloooow. I keep the heat as low as possible, so the sauce is at a bare simmer. Be sure leave the cover off so it thickens as it cooks.
