Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in an 8-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook bones and steak trimmings until browned, 7–9 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add garlic and onion; cook until golden, 6–8 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook until slightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, celery seeds, basil, tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper; boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; add bones and trimmings. Cook, until sauce is reduced by 1⁄3, about 1 hour. Discard bones, trimmings, basil, and bay; shred any meat, if possible, and add to sauce.

Step 2

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and divide among serving bowls; ladle with sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
