Instructions
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven (or any other heavy bottom pot) in medium heat. Add onion. Cook until wilted, 5-7 minutes.
- Add in the ground beef. Using a wooden spoon break it into smaller chunks. Cook, stirring frequently until it is browned, 7-8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper, red wine, and chicken stock. Give everything a stir. Bring it to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, put the lid on, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on its package.
- Once the spaghetti is ready, drain it in a colander.
- Discard the thyme bundle and the bay leaf from the Bolognese sauce.
- Add drained pasta into the sauce. Stir it all together making sure that the pasta is generously coated with the sauce.
- Stir in the fresh basil and top it off with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve.
Notes
- You can make the sauce a day in advance. Simply cook the pasta on the next day and top it off with the sauce, cheese, and garnishes.
- You can freeze the sauce in an airtight container.
