Directions

Prep 15 minCook 75 min
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water if desired, then drain.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the onion and celery with a splash of water and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and cook 2–3 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Add the ground chicken and garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat, until lightly browned and no longer pink, 3–4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the grated carrot and red wine. Simmer until the wine reduces slightly, 3–4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce looks dry, add a splash of broth or reserved pasta water.

  7. 7

    Uncover and simmer 10–15 minutes more, until the sauce is thickened to your liking. Remove and discard the bay leaves; adjust seasoning.

  8. 8

    Divide the spaghetti among plates, spoon the Bolognese over the top, and garnish with basil and Parmesan.
