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)

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.

Superb Meat Sauce Superb Meat Sauce
This is a recipe I came up with a few years ago. I found the usual Bolonese to be a bit lacking, so I tried adding hayashi rice roux. The hayashi rice roux really deepens the flavor. You can add some water if you like.Please don't simmer for too long.It's quite superb if you use 100% beef. In that case, double the amount of red wine, use two soup stock cubes, and simmer for 20~25 minutes. Season with sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. You can also omit the roux if you like.

My Family's Bolognese-style Meat Sauce My Family's Bolognese-style Meat Sauce
I was inspired by a large amount of tomatoes when I came up with this recipe.Recently, I've been using cut canned tomatos.Leftovers can be frozen! Remember to reheat them well when defrosting.The bell peppers taste better when a little sugar is added.You can just the pour the sauce over cooked pasta too.I personally like cooking the pasta with about 1/3 of the meat sauce before serving.

I tried making this with what I had in my kitchen, and it turned out really nice. You can also pour this sauce on rice, top it with cheese and heat it in the microwave.It's nice with other kinds of mushrooms or bell peppers.It's a really basic point, but boil the pasta in salted water.
