Bolognese Beef Spaghetti

0 comments

- smoked streaky bacon, chopped

- onion, chopped

- garlic cloves, crushed

- lean minced beef

- chopped tomatoes

- mushrooms, drained

- fresh or dried bay leaves

- dried oregano or a small handful of fresh leaves, chopped

- dried thyme or a small handful of fresh leaves, chopped

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

- fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces

- 800g-1kg/1¾-2¼lb dried spaghetti

- Lots of freshly grated parmesan, to serve


  1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan and fry the bacon until golden over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, frying until softened. Increase the heat and add the minced beef. Fry it until it has browned, breaking down any chunks of meat with a wooden spoon. Reduce the temperature and stir in the tomatoes, drained mushrooms, bay leaves, oregano, thyme and balsamic vinegar.
  2. Either blitz the sun-dried tomatoes in a small blender with a little of the oil to loosen, or just finely chop before adding to the pan. Season well with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer the Bolognese sauce over a gentle heat for 1-1½ hours until it's rich and thickened, stirring occasionally. At the end of the cooking time, stir in the basil and add any extra seasoning if necessary.
  3. Remove from the heat to 'settle' while you cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water (for the time stated on the packet). Drain and divide between warmed plates. Scatter a little parmesan over the spaghetti before adding a good ladleful of the Bolognese sauce, finishing with a scattering of more cheese and a twist of black pepper.
