Bolognese Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Meat

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, then add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce for about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

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

  5. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  7. 7

    Serve

    To serve, place spaghetti on a plate, top with Bolognese sauce, and garnish with herbed ricotta, grated parmesan, and fresh basil.
