Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. 2

   Brown the Meat

   Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

3. 3

   Deglaze and Simmer

   Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until nearly evaporated. Add the San Marzano tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Add Basil

   Tear the basil leaves and add them to the sauce. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Cook the Spaghetti

   Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

6. 6

   Combine and Serve

   Toss the cooked spaghetti with the Bolognese sauce. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and additional basil if desired.
