I like to use Pickle Creek Greek Oregano & Garlic Infused Olive Oil in this delicious and hearty pasta recipe . . . the Roasted Garlic, Greek Basil & Garlic, and Genovese Basil & Roma Tomato Olive Oils are also terrific in this dish!

Instructions
Heat the Greek Oregano & Garlic Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and season with salt & black pepper. Cook ~5 min until veggies start to soften. Add the ground beef and cook with the veggies, stirring occasionally, until meat is crumbled and browned, ~5 min more.
Stir in the garlic and nutmeg and cook until fragrant, ~2 min. Pour 1 c wine into the skillet and stir to deglaze the pan. Stir in the tomato paste and take off the heat.
Pour the meat & veggie mix into a lined slow cooker. Add the tomatoes and toss in the bay leaf. Cover and cook 6-8 hours on LOW or 4-6 hours on HIGH, until the sauce has thickened and the meat has cooked all the way through.
Just before serving, stir in the cream, fresh basil, ¼ c wine, and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Ladle sauce over cooked pasta. Enjoy!
