Spaghetti Bolognas

Spaghetti Bolognas – Serves 2
------------------------------------

Everyone has their own way of making a bolognas, but this is the way I do it. It doesn’t take very long to cook and is ideal for making during the week. I normally make enough for 4 portions, then on the next day you can add some chili and kidney beans and call it a chili con carne J

1 x Pack of minced beef
1 x White onion, chopped.
3 x Cloves of garlic, chopped.
1 x Carrot chopped into very small chunks.
5 x Sliced mushrooms.
1 x glass of red wine.

1 x Tin of chopped tomatoes.
2 x Tablespoons of tomato puree.
3 x Tablespoons of worchester sauce.

2 x Teaspoons of dried basil.

Steps
------

1. Brown the mince in a non stick frying pan with a small amount of olive oil or fry light.

2. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and carrot and fry until golden, and the carrot is soft.

3. Add the mushrooms and fry until softened.

4. Add the basil and worchester sauce and cook for 1 minute.

5. Add the chopped tomatoes, puree, and red wine. Mix together and turn up the heat until it starts to boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Keep on the heat until the sauce has reduced by about half or has thickened to how you like it.

6. Serve with a plate of pasta or spaghetti. For best results boil the pasta until it is just under cooked, eg has a little bite to it. This is nice serves with some crusty bread or garlic bread.
