Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon bolognese seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound ground beef or plant-based ground beef (such as Impossible Burger or Beyond Burger)
½ cup dry red wine, beef broth, or vegetable broth
1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
Cooked spaghetti for serving
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Fresh basil for serving
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, bolognese seasoning, and salt and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Increase heat to high. Add the beef or plant-based alternative and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until well browned.
- Add the wine, scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for at least 10 minutes and up to an hour to develop the flavors, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve over pasta with grated parmesan cheese on top.
