Heat oil in a large pan, add onion, celery and carrot and sauté until onions are translucent and vegetables are soft, around 10 minutes.
Add pancetta and continue to stir for another couple of minutes. Stir in the beef and pork mince and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes to brown
Add beef jus, tomatoes, oregano and garlic, season with salt and pepper, bring to boil then turn down heat, cover with a lid and leave to simmer for at least 20 minutes, but up to 2 hours if time allows – add a little water or wine if sauce reduces too much during this time
Fifteen minutes before serving, bring a large pot of water to boil add 1 tsp of salt, cook pasta according to packet instructions, until al dente. Drain well, add the pasta to the meat sauce and toss through gently to combine before transferring to a serving dish.
