Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, finely diced
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 28 ounce crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Be sure to drain excess fat once it’s nicely cooked to ensure a lighter sauce.
2. Next, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the skillet. As you sauté them, cook until the vegetables are soft, which should take about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. While the sauce is simmering, fill a pot with boiling salted water and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Once al dente, drain the spaghetti and set aside.
5. In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat. Add in the mozzarella and provolone cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and melted.
6. Toss your cooked spaghetti with the rich Bolognese sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Drizzle the creamy cheese sauce over the top, and gently mix everything together for an indulgent finish.
7. Plate your Beef Bolognese Spaghetti, garnishing with fresh basil leaves for that perfect touch of color and flavor. Enjoy every delightful bite of this rich and creamy dish!
Notes
Beef Bolognese Spaghetti is irresistibly satisfying on its own, but consider serving it alongside warm garlic bread for dipping or a light, refreshing salad to balance the richness of the pasta.
