Instructions:

- Drain the pasta and set aside.
3. Sauté the Base Ingredients:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the chopped prosciutto and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the prosciutto starts to crisp up.
4. Add the Garlic and Ground Beef:
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is browned all over.
5. Incorporate the Sauce and Herbs:

- Serve the spaghetti Bolognese hot, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.

Tips:

- Finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery to ensure they blend seamlessly into the sauce.

- Cook the pasta to al dente; it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the hot sauce.

- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes to develop a deep, rich flavor.

- Use a good-quality olive oil for the best taste results.

- Fresh rosemary can be substituted with dried, but reduce the quantity to avoid overpowering the dish.
