Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

Salt & pepper, to taste
2 T olive oil
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4" dice
1 medium carrot, cut into 1/4" dice
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1/4 c. evaporated milk
1 lb. spaghetti
1 T fresh chopped thyme
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. 2. Meanwhile, in a large flameproof casserole, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until they soften. 3. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until only a little pink remains. 4. Add the tomatoes and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. 5. Drop the spaghetti into the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is tender but still has some bite. Drain it into a colander. 6. Add the thyme and Parmesan to the tomato sauce. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if you like. Tip the spaghetti onto a platter and spoon the Bolognese sauce on top.
