Certainly! Here’s an easy pasta recipe for Pasta with Hearty Bolognese and Parmesan:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces/400g) crushed tomatoes

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound (450g) pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or your choice)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef, and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

- While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Once the Bolognese sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
