Pasta with Quick Meat Sauce

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add the carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes more. While the vegetables cook, combine the beef and wine in a medium bowl; break up the beef with a spoon. Add the beef mixture to the vegetables, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the red pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley and toss with the pasta.
