Pasta with Slow Cooked Bolognese Sauce

Sunday crockpot dinner... this would definitely be a good way to get vegetables into kids without being as obvious... because now, yes, that's what I think of when I am looking at recipes... will I be able to get my kid to eat this... amazing how things change!

1 lb ground beef
1 28oz can of diced tomatoes
3 carrots, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 6oz can of tomato paste
1/2 c red wine
1 26oz jar of plain tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
10 Basil leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
1 lb of pasta
grated parmesan for serving

In a large non stick skillet, begin to brown the ground beef over medium heat.  Add carrots, onion, celery, and garlic.  Cook until beef is browned and onion is clear.  In a 4 to 6 quart crockpot, combine paste, wine, sauce, and herbs (not basil).  Add beef and vegetable mixture.  Stir to combine and add salt and pepper.  Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.  Twenty minutes before serving add basil and begin to cook pasta according to directions.  Serve with parmesan cheese.
