Olive oil
1 pound well-marbled chuck roast, cut into very small cubes, or ground beef
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried Turkish oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup red wine
2 cups beef stock or water
1 cup strained tomatoes
1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional)
1 pound sturdy pasta, such as calamaritti, rigatoni, penne, farfalle
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

1
Heat oven to 350u00b0 F.
2
Heat a 14-inch saute pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the olive oil, swirl the pan and add the beef. Season it with a healthy pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir and brown it on all sides.
3
Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and herbs, and stir.
4
Add the red wine and let it reduce to a tablespoon or so.
5
Add the tomatoes, 2 cups of water, and the dairy (if using). Stir, taste, and add salt and pepper as necessary. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the pasta. Shake the pan to spread the pasta evenly across the pan, and bring it all back to a boil.
6
Put a lid on it, place it into the oven, and set a timer for 20 minutes.
7
When the timer sounds, remove the pan from the oven, remove the lid, stir and taste a piece of the pasta. If it is still crunchy, put the lid back onto the pan and put it back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
8
Remove the pasta from the oven. Top with lots of Parmesan and parsley and serve.
