Ingredients for Spaghetti Bolognese

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Simmer

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Cook the Spaghetti

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

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked spaghetti with the Bolognese sauce until well combined. Serve hot and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
