My “go to” bolognese

For years I’ve made my bolognese up as I go along. But, tonight my husband said it’s the best one I’ve ever made so I’ve decided to share it. The weird thing about it is that’s it’s also probably the simplest one I’ve ever made too. I normally add smoked bacon or pancetta but I didn’t have any so I just added smoked paprika to get a slightly Smokey taste. Otherwise, it’s just a simple mix of store cupboard ingredients. The key is high quality mince and tomatoes.
