Bring a large pot of well salted water to boil; cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving some of the pasta water for the sauce later. Set aside.
While pasta is cooking, in a large saucepan with high sides, heat a little olive oil. Add ground beef; season with salt and pepper; cook about 5 minutes or until just no longer pink, breaking up the beef while cooking. Discard excess grease; transfer the beef to a bowl; set aside.
Add a little bit of olive oil to the same saucepan; cook onion, carrots and celery, stirring frequently, about 5-6 minutes, or until softened. Add garlic for the last 30 seconds of cooking, stirring constantly.
Return meat to the pot; add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce; bring to a boil; turn heat down to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Season to taste.
Add in drained pasta; toss everything together. Add a bit of reserved pasta water if it needs to be thinned out a little.
Serve with freshly shaved parmigiana cheese and torn basil on the top.
