Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Chop the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery into small pieces. Set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Brown the Meat

Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8 minutes.

Add Tomatoes and Wine

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Mix well.

Season the Sauce

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.

Simmer the Sauce

Cover and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.

Cook the Spaghetti

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

Combine and Serve

Toss the cooked spaghetti with the Bolognese sauce until well coated. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
