Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by chopping the onion, carrot, celery, and mincing the garlic. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 7-10 minutes until the meat is browned all over.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir everything together to combine well.

  6. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to cook uncovered for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and the flavors meld together.

  7. 7

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  8. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
