Heat olive oil in a large pan, sauté diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until softened.
Add ground meat and brown thoroughly, then stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and herbs, simmering for 20 minutes to create the Bolognese sauce.
Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.
Combine the cooked pasta with the Bolognese sauce and half of the hard cheese.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish, top with the remaining cheese, and bake at 200C for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
