Heating the olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet or saucepan until it begins to shimmer.

Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.

Add the ground beef and cook until it browns, mixing it and breaking it up to ensure even cooking.

Add the red wine along with all of the herbs, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half.

Start your pasta about 20 minutes before your sauce is finished cooking.
