Spaghetti Bolognaise


you will need:
pack of beef mince
onion
carton of passata or two tins tomatoes
a stock cube
some wine

optional: carrot/ courgette/ mushroom/ any other veg

1. dry fry the beef mince in your pan keep turning till it goes brown
2. you probably now should put it on another plate and add it back to the pan once the veggies are soft, but I just add the chopped onion to this and fry that down with the meat. if you want to add other veg add it once the onion is soft - grated carrot, grated courgette or parsnip, sliced mushrooms, whatever you want to use up and 'hide' in the sauce!
3. I add some wine now and let it cook down and sizzle
4. add the tinned tomatoes or passata
5. boil some water and melt down the stock cube - add to the pan- couple of mugs full
6. let it bubble away for as long as you've got - 20-30 mins minimum - till the sauce is thick, meat is tender and it's all tasty
in meantime boil up the spaghetti - usually about 8 mins- and steam some veg above it - broccoli carrots beans peas sweetcorn whatever
