Halal Spaghetti Bolognese is a rich and hearty pasta dish that combines tender spaghetti with a flavorful, spiced ground meat sauce. This comforting meal is perfect for a cozy dinner, blending traditional Italian flavors with halal ingredients.

Ingredients

• Spaghetti - 200 grams
• Ground halal beef - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 medium, finely diced
• Celery - 1 stalk, finely diced
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400 grams
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Italian seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon (optional)
• Fresh basil - a handful, chopped (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese - for serving (optional)

Steps

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Add the ground halal beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using). Bring to a simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
