home made spaghetti bolegnese

[Pinkfly]

Just wondered how do you all make yours and what do you use..??

 

[NIfirsttimer]

my secret ingredient is a heaped tbsp of brown sugar. balances the acidity of the tomatoes and it tastes fab!

[pinkmummy]

I usually fry the mince, garlic and onion in a pan, add the mushrooms and tomatoes then a squirt of tomato puree and a tin of tomatoes then add to the cooked pasta I don't actually like spag bol but OH likes it and seems to like the way I make it LOL xx

i brown the mince with onions, add some mixed herbs and garlic paste then mix all in with a beef oxo cube to add more flavour i keep the fats in

then i add 2 cans of tomoatoes along with afew drops of wostersauce and some hotsauce and slowly cook for about an hour to soften the meat as im not a huge mince fan

I chop up a slice or two of smoked bacon and fry in olive oil, then add onion and garlic. Then add carrot (and celery if we've got any!) and fry off. I usually brown the mince in a separate pan, get rid of the extra fat, then add to the big pan but sometimes if I'm rushing I add it to the pan before the carrot. Then I add a tin of chopped tomotoes and some stock, a bay leaf, oregano, black pepper and leave to cook for as long as possible.

I agree with the sugar comment! I do it with all tomato sauces!
