    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrot and onion to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
    Crumble the beef and pork into the skillet. Cook and stir until no longer pink. Pour in the red wine, parsley, and Worcestershire and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the crushed tomatoes, celery salt, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne. Stir well to combine. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    The sauce is ready to serve. If you would like a thicker consistency, allow the sauce to simmer longer until desired consistency is reached. If you would like a thinner consistency, pour in a little heavy cream or milk.
    Serve over hot pasta.
    Enjoy!
