My Spaghetti Bolognese.The amount of herbs is purely a matter of taste and it can be more or less.Now for better results,grate the parmesan cheese and stir it into the sause because it will give it a real nicer taste,
Ingredients
500g Lamb mince
2 small finely chopped Onions
2 small finely chopped Leeks
1 Large Green Pepper
1 Large Yellow Pepper
1 Stick Celery,finely sliced
100g Mushrooms sliced
3 cloves Garlic
Can of chopped tomatoes.
2 tbsp Tomato puree
1 large glass Red wine
1 tbspn of colemans mustard
2 tbsp of corn flower
3 tbsp of mixed herbs
1 tlbsp of Rosemary
1 tbspn of Basil
Salt & Pepper.
parmesan cheese.
500g Spaghetti
Method
Lets Go :>)
1) Heat the oil in a large frying pan making sure the oil is very hot for best results.add the mince and start breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned,you may need to do this in two batches.
2)Add the onion, carrot,peppers, celery,mushrooms, and garlic and mustard Stir over a medium heat for 3 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and. Stir well, then add the hearbs and seasoning. Cook over a medium heat so that the sauce boils gently, stirring occasionally, for 15/20 minutes .Use 2 tbspn of corn flour to thicken the sause,When cooking always have a taste for seasoning reasons.Add a glass of red wine and stir in slowly.Grate the parmesan cheese and stir it into the sause because it will give it a real nicer taste
3) While the sauce is cooking, cook the spaghetti in a pan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or according to the pack instructions, until tender with a bite at the centre. Drain and turn into a warmed serving bowl.I always add a little oil when i am cooking pasta,most chefs will dislike this idea,for myself its all about personal taste.

Hi <br /> <br /> Thanks for taking the time to add this receipe. I am a bit cnfused about the quantities. For example 1 tablespoon of mustard, 3 tablespoons of mixed herbs? shouldn't these be teaspoons?<br /> <br /> Cheers, Martin
I am afraid I fail to see how this can be called a Bolognese sauce, its quite clear that it is not a Bolognese sauce. As for "the best in the world"... you’re wrong.<br /> For a start, a traditional Bolognese sauce is made with beef and it is slow cooked for several hours, not just given a 20 min flash in the pan. Also the addition of peppers, mushrooms, leeks, rosemary and mustard is just not right! <br /> I am not sure if you are aware of a country called Italy but if you presented this as a Bolognese sauce to an Italian I suspect that they would be severely offended!<br />
Sorry Maria,but you posted your recipe comment in the wrong recipe section.And no Jasper i am not Julian P Alexander:>)
I made it yesterday and it's delicious! The mascarpone is a great idea! In my case I used less butter and less sugar (I always put less of these two when I follow any recipe).
Thanks Jamie!
Nice recipe, is this Julian P Alexander by any chance? If it is it's Jasper here
