Giada's Bolognese Sauce Recipe

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat olive oil until almost smoking. Add the onion and garlic and turn heat down to medium and cook until the onions become very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the celery and carrot and saute for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Raise heat to high and add the ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley and basil and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens – about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Serve over pasta of your choice with more black pepper and grated cheese.
