Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Bolognese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 3

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Once the sauce has simmered, add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to combine. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
