Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's well browned and no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat if desired.
â±ïž 8-10 minutes - 2
Add the finely chopped onion and carrot to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
â±ïž 7-8 minutes - 3
Pour in the two cans of chopped tomatoes and the beef stock. Stir in the dried mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
â±ïž 2 minutes - 4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the bolognese sauce simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or up to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. This long, slow simmer allows the flavours to meld and deepen. The sauce should thicken nicely.
â±ïž 60-90 minutes - 5
About 15 minutes before the sauce is ready, cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Aim for 'al dente' â tender but still with a slight bite.
â±ïž 10-12 minutes - 6
Drain the spaghetti well. Serve the bolognese sauce generously over the cooked spaghetti. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garlic bread is a classic accompaniment.
đĄ Proffstips
- âEvery family has their secret ingredient â try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- âThis is a fantastic weeknight meal that can be made ahead of time. The flavours often improve overnight.
- âKids love it! For picky eaters, you can finely grate extra vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers into the sauce â they'll be hidden by the rich tomato base.
