Brodo

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add diced onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add ground beef to the pot; cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add spaghetti to the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce.

Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and sauce thickens.

If desired, stir in grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
