Instructions

Creating Classic Spaghetti Bolognese can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

  1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  3. Brown the Meat: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  4. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well.
  5. Season the Sauce: Add the dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Simmer: Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Cook the Pasta: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  8. Combine: Once the sauce is ready, drain the pasta and combine it with the sauce in the large pan. Toss to coat the spaghetti evenly.
  9. Serve: Allow to rest for a few minutes before plating your servings.
  10. Garnish: Top each plate with fresh basil and a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese.
