Preparation Steps

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
• Add the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor.
• While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well.
• Serve the bolognese sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese.
