Ingredients :
- 2 rashers streaky bacon
- 1 white onion
- 1 stick celery
- 1 large carrot
- Mushrooms (optional)
- Anchovies
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 500 g beef mince
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 jar passata
- Oregano
- Basil
- leaves Bay
- Spaghetti
- Olive oil
- Tomato purée
Method :
- Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry in a large such pot.
- Finely dice the onion, celery and carrot. Add to the pot and cook in the bacon fat.
- Add anchovy. Once the anchovy has dissolved, add the mushrooms if you want them in the dish.
- Continue cooking until the juices evaporate. Add the beef mince and minced garlic. Continue cooking until the beef changes colour.
- Add about a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar (or a glass of red wine if you prefer) and oregano. Add a few squirts of tomato purée and mix until the contents of the pot are covered with the red paste.
- Add the passata and bay leaves. Cook on a low heat for as long as you can. 30 minutes is fine, but the flavours will be better the longer you cook it. I prefer to leave it on the hob for at least an hour. 2 hours is even better. Just remember to keep an eye on the pot as you may need to add a splash of water if it becomes too dry.
- Season the bolognese to taste.
- Cook your spaghetti, drain, leave a little water in the pot to stop it from sticking. A splash of olive oil will also help with this and gives the pasta a nice shine.
- Either add the pasta to the bolognese or for the traditional British experience, place the spaghetti on your plate and top with the meat sauce.
- Serve with garlic bread and grated Parmesan cheese.
