Ingredients
- 1 kg mince (2lb)
- 2 cloves garlic crushed or finely chopped
- 2 medium onions finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 tbsps tomato paste
- 1 litre chicken stock (2 pints)
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and onions and cook until softened.
- Add the mince and cook until lightly browned, breaking it up as you go so that you don’t have any big lumps of meat.
- Add herbs & bay leaves and give a good stir.
- Add the tomato paste and mix it all together.
- Pour in the stock, season with salt & pepper and bring to the boil
- Let it cook & bubble for a good 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to end up with a good thick sauce.
- Serve over pasta and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
Remove bay leaves before serving.
You can also add sliced mushrooms to this recipe. I add around 200g, thickly sliced before adding the tomato paste.
Allow 250g pasta per adult, less for children.
