Notes
Spaghetti bolognese is a simple, quick home-style Western dish with a rich sauce and firm pasta, perfect for busy days. Minced meat and onion combined with ready-made pasta sauce quickly provide protein and carbohydrates, and the onion adds dietary fiber. It's very beginner-friendly, needing only simple chopping and frying; once practiced you can have it on the table in 15 minutes, more satisfying than instant noodles.

Calculation:
Before each preparation, decide how many servings you plan to make. One serving is just enough for 2 people.
Per serving:
- Pasta 180 g (adjust to appetite)
- Minced meat 80 g (adjust to appetite)
- Onion, a good half (about 150 g, usually twice the weight of the meat)
- Pasta sauce 300 g (adjust as needed)
- Cooking oil 10-15ml
- Pasta comes in many thicknesses; check the cooking time on the box before cooking
- Pasta sauce is not ketchup. What we usually call tomato sauce is ketchup; pasta sauce and ketchup are both seasoned tomato sauces, but with different seasonings
