Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe
- 500g Minced Beef
- 1 Onion
- 2 Carrots
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 4 Bacon Rashers
- Oil (to fry)
- 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 150ml Red Wine
- 150ml Milk
- 2 Tins Chopped Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Oregano
- 1 Beef Stock Cube
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- Handful Fresh Basil
- Spaghetti (to serve)
Directions
This is my best spaghetti bolognese recipe - an Italian classic served within a Bolognese sauce with spaghetti or your favourite pasta.
- Finely chop the Onion & Garlic, and dice the Bacon into 1cm square pieces. Heat some oil in a large pan and fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the Minced Beef and fry until browned.
- Peel and dice the Carrot and add to the pan along with the Chopped Tomatoes, Red Wine, Milk, crumbled Stock Cube, Oregano, Nutmeg and Tomato Puree.
- Stir everything thoroughly and leave to simmer for 1 hour with the lid off.
- When the sauce is nice and thick, leave to rest with the lid on for 10 minutes.
- Once rested, serve straight away with spaghetti, garnished with freshly chopped Basil.
This recipe is also great for freezing. If you have any left over, use it in my Lasagna Recipe.
