Saute the ground beef in a skillet until browned. Set aside. Grind the carrots, parsley, onions, and garlic together or chop very finely. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown. Transfer the meat to the vegetable mixture, scraping off any brown bits from the skillet.

Serve over steaming pasta, passing grated cheese to be sprinkled over each serving, if desired.
