Spaghetti Bolognese

Sorry I have been completely slack in blogging over the past two weeks, I am going to make up for it this week!

I come from a big family, and when it's my turn to cook dinner I often find it difficult to find something that's easy to make in large quantities, but that still satisfies everyone's taste-buds. And I have to say that, while I hate the nickname 'spag bol', it certainly meets both those requirements.

I used the Donna Hay recipe here, with a few slight adjustments.


I didn't happen to have a bay leaf, so that was omitted, as was parsley given that it's not a personal favourite. I did add a lot of pepper and not so much salt. It's pretty simple to fry up the onions and garlic, add the rest of the ingredients and stir.



Don't freak out about adding all the liquid, it will reduce. The bolognese will need to simmer for an hour, giving plenty of time to make a salad or a sneaky chocolate slice for dessert!


Don't forget to serve with a bowl of grated parmesan for sprinkling on top.


I used 1.5 times the quantities in the recipe and comfortably fed 8.

Buon appetito!
