Method

Step 1 of 3

Heat the oil in a large, wide-based sauté pan over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring, until golden. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook stirring until onion is soft. Increase heat to high and add the beef mince, breaking up with the back of a spoon. Cook until all moisture from beef has evaporated. Stir the tomato paste into the beef. Add wine, bring to the boil; simmer until liquid has evaporated. Add tomatoes, stock and herbs. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes or until thick and reduce.

Step 2 of 3

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender. Drain.

Step 3 of 3

Serve Bolognese over pasta with parmesan cheese. Tip 1: Make a double batch of the bolognese and freeze for another meal. Tip 2: This sauce is also a great meat pie filling topped with mashed potato and cooked in a baking dish. Tip 3: Any left over pasta and sauce can be layered with fresh ricotta as an easy pasta bake, topped with shredded mozzarella.
