How to Make All In One Bolognaise

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, red wine, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the pasta to the pot, stirring to combine.
  7. Add 2 cups of water or broth to the pot and bring back to a simmer, then continue to simmer until the pasta is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add more water or broth as needed to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
  8. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
