Ingredients

• 400g spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 500g ground beef
• 800g canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
4. Stir in canned tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
5. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the bolognese sauce. Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
