- 450g ground beef,
- 1 large onion, finely chopped,
- 2 garlic cloves, minced,
- 800g canned diced tomatoes,
- 3 tbsp tomato paste,
- 1 cup beef broth,
- 1 cup red wine (optional),

- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 400g spaghetti,

Begin by finely chopping your onion and mincing the garlic cloves. Set aside. Gather all other ingredients for easy access.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, red wine (if using), dried basil, and oregano to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While your sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Plate the cooked spaghetti and ladle the bolognese sauce over the top. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy the comfort of this timeless dish with your loved ones.
