My Mum's Meat Sauce

This is based on the Bolognese sauce recipe used by many mothers in the UK to feed up a family, dolloped on top of a pile of spaghetti. This is how my mother made hers...but I like to have it with macaroni or with homemade gnocchi, sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan (yum)
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat a large saute pan, and add the mince beef with the onions and garlic, and break up the meat with a spoon while it browns.
- 2
Add the herbs and the bay leaves, followed by the tins of tomatoes (but don't discard the cans yet! half fill each one with water and swoosh around to get the extra tomato juice and pour that in the pan too)
- 3
Add the tomato puree, stir it in then reduce heat and simmer gently for an hour, stirring every now.and then and topping up with a splash of water if it gets too dry and breaking up the tomatoes
- 4
Remove the bay leaves, season with salt and pepper and either use straight away or put in the fridge to heat up the next day, when it will be even tastier :)
