Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe

Preparation Steps

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. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté 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 until the vegetables are softened.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Meat

   Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

5. 5

   Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

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

6. 6

   Simmer the Sauce

   Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

7. 7

   Combine and Serve

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