  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery finely.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
