Ingredients:

- 1 pound (450g) ground beef (or a combination of beef and pork)

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 carrots, finely chopped

- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped

- 1 can (14 oz/400g) crushed tomatoes

- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

- 1 cup (240ml) beef or vegetable broth

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 1 teaspoon dried basil

- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Olive oil for cooking

- 12 oz (340g) spaghetti noodles

- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.

2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Once the meat is cooked, add the chopped carrots and celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

6. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow it to caramelize slightly.

7. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir well to combine.

8. Add the dried oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

9. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.

10. While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

11. Once the sauce is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

12. Serve the spaghetti Bolognese over the cooked spaghetti noodles. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves if desired.
