Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients

Chop the onion, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic. Set aside.

2. Cook the vegetables

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

Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

Add the red wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and salt. Bring to a simmer.

5. Simmer the sauce

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste.

In a separate pot, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

7. Combine and serve

Toss the cooked spaghetti with the Bolognese sauce. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Pecorino cheese.
