Ingredients:

- 14 oz spaghetti

- 1 lb ground beef

- 1 medium onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 medium carrot finely diced

- 1 celery stalk finely diced

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes

- 2 tbsp tomato paste

- ½ cup red wine(optional)

- 1 tsp dried oregano

- 1 tsp dried thyme

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Parmesan cheese, grated (for serving)

- Fresh basil leaves, to garnish

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Drain and just set aside.

2. Prepare the Bolognese sauce:

- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

- Add chopped onions, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (about 7-8 minutes).

3. Add the tomatoes:

- Add the canned diced tomatoes and red wine (if using). Mix well.

4. Season:

- Add oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce thickens too much, add a little water.

5. Serve:

- Serve the spaghetti on plates and top with the Bolognese sauce.

- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Enjoy your Spaghetti Bolognese topped with basil! It def makes a difference! Enjoy 😊
