Cook the Perfect Spaghetti Bolognaise

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

500 grams spaghetti
500 grams minced beef
1 can plum tomatoes
½ tube tomato puree
1 jar of tomato pasta sauce (Dolmio, Ragu etc)
1 large onion
1 handful chopped green peppers
4 mushrooms
3 cloves of garlic
½ chilli pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Take a large saucepan and cook the beef for 4-5 minutes until it turns brown. Drain off the fat and add onions, garlic, peppers and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring continuously.

Next, add the plum tomatoes, puree and pasta sauce and stir in evenly, and heat until the mixture bubbles. At this point, add the rest of the herbs and spices and stir well, remembering to stir every couple of minutes while cooking your spaghetti.

You are now ready to cook the pasta. Half fill another large saucepan with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil on the hob. When the water boils, add the spaghetti and cook for 10-12 minutes, according to taste. Drain and serve with the sauce.

Enjoy!
