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!
