1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

3. Add the onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
5. Stir in beef, buffalo, and pork, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until it has evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Pour in the broth, stir in the tomato paste and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
8. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 ½ hours.
   If the sauce looks too dry after 1 hour, add ½ cup water.
9. About 20 minutes before the sauce is done, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
10. Add 2 tablespoons salt and the pasta, and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
11. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
12. Add ½ cup of the sauce, and toss gently to coat.
13. Divide the pasta among warmed bowls, and top with additional sauce.
14. Sprinkle with some Parmesan, and serve at once.
