    Preparation Steps

    1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, and diced celery stalks for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

    2

    Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned on all sides.

    3

    Pour in the red wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

    4

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.

    5

    Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain well, and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

    6

    Serve the spaghetti topped with the Bolognese sauce. Garnish with fresh basil, parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread or a side salad.
