Directions Mom's Spaghetti Bolognese
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes, drain.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the bacon in the oil until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the onion, celery, carrot, and oregano into the bacon, continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften, another 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Crumble the ground beef into the vegetable mixture, cook and stir until the beef is completely cooked and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes.
Pour the balsamic vinegar over the ground beef mixture, allow to simmer until the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar into the ground beef mixture, bring the mixture to a boil, season with salt and black pepper, and remove from heat. Stir the fresh basil into the mixture.
Ladle the sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
