Mom's spaghetti Bolognese recipe was passed on from my Italian grandfather. The ultimate comfort food. Leftovers freeze nicely! To make this recipe more authentic, you can use a mixture of ground veal, pork, and beef. You can also substitute 1/2 cup of red wine for the balsamic vinegar.

Crumble in ground beef; cook and stir until no longer pink and completely cooked, 8 to 10 minutes.
Pour vinegar over ground beef mixture; simmer until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar; bring to a boil, season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat. Stir in basil .
Spoon sauce over spaghetti; top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
