In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Add chopped beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add wine, stock, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until about three-quarters of the liquid has evaporated. Add heavy cream and cook 2 minutes, to warm through.

During the last 20 minutes of sauce cooking time, prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta and toss with sauce.
