Tonight's recipe is one of my own, well it probably started life as a recipe from somewhere long ago but I've added to it and adapted it to suit our tastes. It's great with the old staple spaghetti but just as good with a baked potato.
Bolognese Sauce
Serves 4-5
Ingredients:
450g minced beef steak
2 rashers streaky bacon, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 stick celery, finely chopped
200g mushrooms, peeled and sliced,
1 clove garlic, crushed or finely chopped
100ml white or red wine
500g carton passata
1 tbsp tomato puree
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried oregano
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Heat a large saute or frying pan with a lid. Add the mince, bacon, onion, carrot and celery and cook without fat, stirring regularly, until the vegetables have softened and the mince is starting to brown. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 2-3 mins more. Add the wine and bubble over a high heat until it has almost evaporated. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for around 20 mins. Check the seasoning then serve with spaghetti or a baked potato and freshly grated parmesan.
