Ingredients

Pasta

400 g Spaghetti
2 L Water
1 tsp Salt

Bolognese Sauce

500 g Beef Mince
125 ml Beef Stock
800 g Tomato Passata
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Onions finely diced
1 Carrots finely diced
2 Celery Sticks finely chopped
2 Garlic Cloves minced
2 Sprigs Rosemary
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Handful Basil finely chopped
75 g Parmesan

Instructions

In a saucepan add the water and salt then stir until the salt is dissolved and bring it to a boil
Add the pasta to the water and cook for 10-12 minutes on a gentle simmer until the pasta is al dente – al dente refers to when the pasta is cooked just enough to retain a somewhat firm texture with a bit of a bite
Whilst the pasta is cooking in a large pot heat up the olive oil on medium heat until hot
Add the onions, carrots, celery sticks, chopped garlic cloves and the salt then cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened (see note 1)
Add the beef mince and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned, using the spoon to break apart any chunks of minced meat
Add the canned tomatoes then bring to a boil
Add the basil. rosemary and dried oregano then cover and allow to gently simmer for 1 hour until the sauce has thickened
Remove from the heat then stir in the parmesan cheese
Drain the pasta and either stir into the bolognese sauce or serve separately on top
Garnish with parmesan and basil then enjoy!

Notes

Note 1 – Adding the salt helps to bring the moisture out to allow them to cook down and brown more evenly without burning
