   Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant. Add ground beef and pork, cooking until browned. Mix in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes.

   After resting, roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets. Cut into rectangles that fit your baking dish.
