spaghetti bolognese
- 350 grams mince beef
- 2 clove garlic crushed
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 1 medium tin of tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tbsp sugar or a carrot to get rid of tartness from the tomatoes
- 2 cubes of frozen spinach or a handful of fresh
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch oregano
- 1 dash cooking oil
- 200 grams spaghetti
- 2 beef oxo (dry beef stock) cubes
- 2 rashers of bacon fried crispy and diced
- heat the oil in a pan and add the mince and crumble 1 oxo.
- stir until nearly brown
- add the onions, garlic and last oxo, brown off the rest of the mince.
- add the tin, puree, sugar, worcestershire sauce and oregano
- reduce to a low heat to simmer, add the spinach and start cooking the spaghetti
- to stop the spaghetti sticking hold it in a pan of boiling water (no oil or salt needed) in the centre and twist then release so it lands as shown
- after 10 seconds you can push it all down so it looks spiraled.
- once softened keep stirring to prevent sticking.
- test by breaking one piece.
- it should be clear throughout
- drain and add to bolognese.
- swirl with a large fork to serve and top with bacon.
- I added parmesan and a toasted garlic muffin
