Step-by-step instructions for the spaghetti bolognese

Step 1  Peel and dice the onion. Peel and dice the garlic cloves. Add the onion, garlic and olive oil into a medium-sized pot.

Step 2  Simmer the onions and garlic in the olive oil on low to medium heat (i.e. one third of your stove's heat dial) for 5 mins.

Step 3  Slice the Italian sausages lengthwise and peel the skin off of them. Cut each sausage in half, and then continue to cut each half into smaller ~1 cm / ~0.5 in chunks.

Step 4  Add the Italian sausage chunks as well as the pepper, paprika and fennel spices to your pot. Continue to simmer on low to medium heat for 15 mins.

Step 5  Add the minced beef, the chili pepper spice and sugar to your pot. Continue to simmer on low to medium heat for 15 mins.

Step 6  Wash and quarter the fresh mushrooms and add to the pot. Continue to simmer on low to medium heat for 5 mins.

Step 7  Crush the San Marzano tomatoes one by one with your bare hand inside the pot. Add whatever leftover tomato sauce remains in the tomato can into the pot as well. Then add the tomato paste and the oregano spice.

Step 8  Stir to combine and continue to simmer on low to medium heat for 10 mins.

Step 9  Add the water and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for the amount of time stated on the product packaging, usually 8 to 10 mins. Drain the pasta water through a colander once done, then add 1 tablespoon of butter to keep the spaghetti from sticking together. Combine with the bolognese sauce and serve.
