Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will become.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Bolognese over your choice of pasta and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
