Ingredients:

18 oz ground beef (80/20%)
510g
1/3 cup pasta sauce
72g
12 oz pasta
340g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

2. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

3. Cook the Ground Beef and Onion:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onion. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
4. Combine Sauce with Beef:
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir the pasta sauce into the beef and onion mixture.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
- Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce mixture until the pasta is well coated.
- Serve the spaghetti bolognese onto plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your simple homemade spaghetti bolognese!

Tips:

- To save time, chop the onion and grate the Parmesan cheese while the beef is browning.

- For a richer flavor, let the meat sauce simmer on low heat for an additional 15-20 minutes.

- Add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the pasta sauce.

- If you prefer a chunkier texture, consider adding diced tomatoes or bell peppers to the sauce.

- Always reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the consistency of your sauce if needed.
