Ingredients:

1 lb beef
450g
1/3 cup pasta sauce
72g
10 oz pasta
280g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- If using, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
3. Cook the Beef:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat (if using).
- Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes (if using).
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant (if using).
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Cook the beef until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
4. Combine with the Sauce:
- Lower the heat to medium and add the pasta sauce to the cooked beef. Stir to combine.
- If the sauce is too thick, slowly add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, stirring until you reach the desired consistency.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat the spaghetti evenly with the bolognese sauce.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through, ensuring the pasta absorbs some of the sauce.
6. Serve:
- Divide the spaghetti bolognese among serving plates.
- If desired, sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil or parsley.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade Spaghetti Bolognese!

Tips:

- You can enhance the taste of the pasta sauce by adding some garlic, onions, or herbs like basil and oregano.
