| When hot, but not [[Smoking|smoking]], add the [[Carrots|carrots]], [[Celery|celery]], [[Onions|onions]], [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[Parsley|parsley]].
| Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the [[Onions|onions]] are soft.

===Serving suggestions===
Great on its own, but decent [[Bread|bread]] and a crisp [[Salad|salad]] would make excellent accompaniments for the hungry or greedy.
===Variations===
I don't think that you can vary this recipe too much and still call it '[[Spaghetti]] alla Bolognese'. The Italians seem to have a different name for each variation!
===Chef's notes===
I think you can use any [[Pasta|pasta]] of the [[Spaghetti|spaghetti]] type, but do avoid thick, short pasta such as penne, [[Macaroni|macaroni]] etc as the [[Sauce|sauce]] is not suited to it.
