RECIPE OF THE DAY: Spaghetti Bolognese

Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large (or 2 small) onion, chopped
• 1 lb ground beef (85/15)
• 1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• ½ cup red w**e
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• ½ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
• 1 lb dried spaghetti or linguine
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Stir in the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, chicken stock, red w**e, oregano, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and thyme.

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the sauce cooks, prepare the spaghetti according to package directions and drain.

Remove the bay leaf and thyme from the sauce. Stir in the fresh basil, then add the cooked spaghetti and toss until evenly coated. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
