Instructions
Fry mince and drain off oil by adding a small amount of hot water and draining excess fat into a bowl {don’t pour this down the sink or it will block!}
Return to heat and add the garlic and the onion. {The garlic is essential but the chopped onion is not}
Fry until onion is soft.
Sprinkle in herbs and ‘Season-All’ or crumble in stock cube but not both!
Add half to a whole tube of tomato paste {Whole tube if cooking for 4+}
Then add the most important ingredient of all – a good squidge of good ol’ tomato ketchup! [Yes, really! – this is what makes it taste soooo delicious!}
Add a drop of water to thin it a little and add chopped red sweet peppers and mushrooms.
Let it simmer for 20 – 30 minutes.
Just about ten minutes before the sauce is ready, boil and strain the spaghetti or tagliatelli according to manufacturer’s guide lines. Return to the pan or a serving dish and add a little olive oil to season pasta but more importantly, to stop it sticking together!
Serve with your choice of salad and garinsh with any grated cheese available – Enjoy, it’s the best!
