Method
Prepare the Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook the Pasta
- While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine and Serve
- Toss the cooked spaghetti with the bolognese sauce until well coated.
- Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Notes
For a richer flavor, let the sauce simmer longer. You can also add a splash of red wine for depth.
