Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook for a moment. Deglaze with the red port and let the liquid evaporate slightly. Add the chopped fennel and carrots. Stir well.

Mix in the ground beef and break it up with a spatula into smaller pieces. Add the tomato passata, season with black pepper and salt, and add thyme and bay leaf.

Let the sauce simmer with the lid on the pan for about 1 hour on low heat.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.

Serve the pasta with the bolognese sauce and generously sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips
