Speaking Transcript

Show the Text

Certainly, my go-to dish to prepare is spaghetti Bolognese due to its simplicity and deliciousness. I start by chopping onions and garlic and sautéing them in a bit of oil. Following this, I add ground beef to the mix, cooking it until it’s nicely browned. The next step is to incorporate a can of tomatoes and season with herbs like basil and oregano. I allow the mixture to simmer for approximately half an hour, allowing the flavors to meld. Simultaneously, I boil the spaghetti. Once done, I drain it and combine it with the sauce. Occasionally, I finish the dish with a generous grating of cheese. This dish is always a hit with my family.
