In a large and deep skillet/sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
When the oil is shimmering, add the beef and pork, and brown well on both sides (approximately 5 minutes). Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
Next, add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat (stirring often) until the onions are translucent (approximately 6 minutes).
Now, add the wine. Scrape up all the browned bits in the pan, and turn up the heat to high. Stir continuously.
When the wine is almost evaporated, add the can of crushed tomatoes to the pan. Turn the heat down to low, add the meat back in to the pan, and add the sliced basil. Give it a good stir, and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring every so often.
Meanwhile, boil a large pot of water with four tablespoons of salt.
When it comes to a rolling boil, add the spaghetti and cook per package directions.
Strain the water, return the pasta to the pot, and add two tablespoons of butter.
Remove the lid on the sauce, add the parmesan cheese, and stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the sauce over the pasta in the pot, and stir to blend.
Heap a generous amount of spaghetti onto each plate, and top with parsley and extra cheese! Enjoy.
