Preparation
Step 1
Wash the carrots and mushrooms.
Chop the mushrooms into little cubes. Set aside.
Slice the carrots into discs. Peel and finely chop the onions.
Step 2
Drizzle a little oil into a large pan. Add the onion and carrot and cook for 7 mins.
Crush over the garlic and cook for a further 1 min.
Step 3
Add the minced beef. Cook, continuously stirring, until all the meat has browned.
Season well with salt and pepper. Stir.
Sprinkle in some Worcester Sauce. Stir.
Step 4
Add a decent few shakes of oregano and basil. Stir.
Squirt in a good amount of tomato puree (maybe 1tbsp?). Stir.
Step 5
Pour in the chopped tomatoes. Stir.
Crumble in the stock cubes.
Stir well. Leave simmering for 10 mins.
Step 6
Add the mushrooms. Stir well again. Leave to simmer for 20 mins.
Step 7
Read the spaghetti pack instructions and cook so that they will be ready at the same time as the bolagnaise.
Step 8
Drain the spaghetti in a colander over the sink.
Serve into large bowls and spoon the bolagnaise sauce on top.
For young people, or just through preference, you could use a knife to cut the spaghetti into more manageable pieces before you spoon over the bolagnaise.
