Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté one finely diced white onion until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add three minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Increase the heat slightly and add one pound of ground beef to the skillet. Brown the meat thoroughly for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart until no pink remains. Stir in one cup of tomato puree and half a cup of red wine, simmering until the wine is reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- Incorporate two cups of tomato passata, one cup of beef stock, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, fresh basil, one teaspoon of dried oregano, and a pinch of sugar into the skillet. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 25 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, hollow out four crusty white rolls. Leave a sturdy outer crust to hold the filling and set aside the tops for serving.
- Combine melted butter, one tablespoon of garlic paste, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of extra parmesan in a small bowl. Brush this mixture inside and outside each bread bowl.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add eight ounces of spaghetti. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and toss with the prepared bolognese sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Fill each garlic buttered bread bowl with saucy spaghetti, top with mozzarella, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and bread is crispy.
- Switch the oven to broil and broil the bread bowls for about 1-2 minutes until golden, ensuring they don’t burn.

Notes
Store leftovers separately; pasta and bread will keep best when not combined.
