Spaghetti Bolognese



Spaghetti Bolognese is one of those meals that everyone has their favourite recipe for - but I have to say, this one is particularly delicious, so I simply have to share it!

A few friends have converted to this recipe after trying it, it's that good!  And I have to admit, I have only started adding the vegetables since becoming a mum (hubby is not too impressed, but you really can't taste them anyway) - but you can easily make it without.  Try it and it'll probably become your favourite too!

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
500g beef mince
1 brown onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 carrots, grated
1 stick celery, grated
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tin Heinz Big Red Tomato Soup
1 cup beef stock
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons fresh/dried herbs

Method:
Heat oil in a large saucepan or wok, over medium heat.  Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes until soft.  Add mince and cook until browned.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.  Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.  If it hasn't thickened enough, take off the lid and continue simmering.  Serve with freshly cooked spaghetti and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
