Hi again, I know everyone has their own family favourite version of bolognese but I thought I would add mine into the mix. This tends to be our 'panic' dinner when we haven't gone shopping as we usually have all the ingredients in the house. We have this with whatever pasta we have in the house, but I prefer it with fresh pasta and/or spaghetti/ridged pasta which the sauce can cling to.

Steps

1

Peel and finely chop the onions and peel and crush the garlic cloves. add to the pan with some olive oil and cook the onions and garlic until soft over a medium high heat.
2

Add the beef mince to the onions and garlic. Cook with regular stirring to break up the mince until the mince is brown. Grate the carrot into the mixture and stir until well mixed.
3

Once the mince has browned add both tins of tomatoes, tomato puree, red wine and oregano. Bring to the boil then turn down the heat and leave to simmer for about an hour until the sauce is thick and rich. Once the sauce is thick turn down the heat to just keep the mixture warm. If using dried basil add in now and stir.
