Recipe : Spagetti Bolognese

I've got this cracked for my fussy eaters as the tomato sauce is smooth with no bits of onions or other "nasty" vegetables.

Ingredients to serve 8 (or for 4 eat and freeze for another meal)

• 500 g Steak Mince
• 1 large onion
• 2 tins of tinned tomatoes
• 2 peppers (you can very easily sneak in other veggies, I like to add courgette and mushrooms)
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Salt & pepper for seasoning
• Good splash of Worcestershire Sauce
• tsp dried basil
• Good squeeze of tomato puree
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Brown the minced steak and put into a colander with a bowl underneath to drain off excess fat.


2. In my casserole dish I then add the olive oil and fry the onion, vegetables, Worcestershire Sauce and garlic. Add the tinned tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.


3. Ladle this mixture into a blender and whizz until smooth.


4. Pour back into pan and add mince. Simmer for 30 minutes.


5. Season to taste with the salt pepper. Add a teaspoon of sugar if too acidic.


6. Boil up water for the spaghetti adding salt and a dollop of olive oil. Add the spaghetti and boil for 1 minute. Turn the heat setting to the lowest setting, cover and leave for 10 minutes.


7. Serve with crusty bread and grated cheese.
