Spaghetti Bolognaise



  • Ingredients
  • 450g lean beef mince
  • chopped onion
  • 150g sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cans tomatoes
  • beef stock cube and a little water
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tbs tomato paste
  • mixed herbs (optional)



  • Method
  • A batch of bolognaise sauce is actually better made the day before as the flavour improves - so it's great as a plan ahead meal
  • Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil
  • Add mince and stir-fry with a chopped onion for 10 minutes or until brown
  • Add 150g sliced mushrooms
  • Add 2 cans of tomatoes with a beef stock cube and a little water
  • Season well with salt and pepper, then add 2 tbs tomato paste
  • Cover and simmer for 30 mins
  • Herbs such as mixed, bay leaf or oregano will add extra flavour if used
  • Serve sauce with cooked spaghetti and lots of freshly ground black pepper
