On Top Of Spaghetti

All covered with cheese...

For anyone who is interested, this is my I-don't-have-to-look-up-the-recipe recipe for Spaghetti Bolognaise.

1 brown onion, finely chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic (or as little/much as you like) or 1-2 tsp of crushed garlic from a jar
500g beef mince (4 star quality)
800g tinned diced tomatoes
slurp of your favourite red wine (1/3 of a cup)
1 tsp dried mixed herbs or tbsp of torn fresh basil
light olive oil
pinch of salt
400g Angel Hair spaghetti (for those among us who, engrossed with making the sauce, forget to cook the pasta)
grated cheese, to serve (Parmesan is the traditional, however some prefer cheddar)

Heat a large frying pan on medium. Add olive oil, onion and garlic and cook until the onion is transparent.

Add beef mince and break up as it cooks with whichever utensil you prefer (fork, wooden spoon, etc). Cook until mince is brown.

Stir in tomatoes, wine and herbs. Bring to the boil and simmer for approximately 15 minutes depending on how much liquid you prefer in your sauce.

In the meantime, boil a saucepan of water and add salt. Add spaghetti and cook for approximately 2 minutes.

Place spaghetti and Bolognaise sauce in serving bowls and top with cheese.

Serve with garlic bread.

Mmmm, yummy.
