Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Strain the pasta and set aside.

In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of STAR Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic and onion, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Add whole or halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the minced beef, cooking on low heat for about 7-10 minutes until fully browned.

Serve the cooked spaghetti onto plates, generously ladling the hot Bolognese sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and basil.
