Method

Preparation

Prepare the Vegetables

Finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Cooking the Sauce

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Brown the Meat

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and ground pork. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

Stir in Tomato Paste

Add the tomato paste to the meat mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the tomato paste.

Add Wine and Tomatoes

Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Simmer the Sauce

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Pasta

Cook the Spaghetti

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Serving

Combine and Serve

Remove the bay leaf from the sauce. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the Bolognese sauce until well coated. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
