I'm sure everyone has their own favourite recipe for spaghetti bolognese. Still, I include mine for those who haven't found one yet.
SERVES 4 Preparation Time: 10 Minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes |
1 1/2 lb beef mince | 1 tblsp sugar |
1 large onion, chopped | 1 teasp english mustard |
2 large garlic cloves, crushed | 1 tblsp concentrated tomato puree |
1 large tin chopped tomatoes | 1 tblsp malt vinegar |
2 beef stock cubes | 1 tblsp oregano |
1 green pepper, diced | Spaghetti |
Heat a little cooking oil in a large pan and gently fry the onions until translucent. Add the mince and fry until cooked. Drain off any excess oil.
Add all the ingredients apart from the spaghetti. Simmer gently for about 30 minutes to let the flavours meld together.
Meanwhile, put a large pan of slightly salted water on to boil. When the water is boiling, add enough spaghetti for the number of people you are serving, and bring back to the boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer, and cook according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and rinse well.
Server with the bolognese sauce and plenty of grated Parmesan.
Tip: If you make more than enough sauce, you can use the remainder to make Lasagne, Stuffed Peppers, Tomatoes or Marrow.
