Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe

Instructions:

Prepare the Sauce:

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7

minutes.

Add the ground beef (or meat mix) and cook until browned. If using, pour in the red wine and let it

simmer until it has mostly evaporated.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Add the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the milk (or cream) and let the sauce simmer for another 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning if

necessary.

Cook the Spaghetti:

While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

Drain the spaghetti, reserving a cup of pasta water.

Combine and Serve:

Add the cooked spaghetti to the Bolognese sauce. Toss to combine, adding a little reserved pasta

water if the sauce is too thick.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Spaghetti Bolognese!
