Meal 1: Spaghetti Bolognese

For the first post I decided to make my favourite meal, spaghetti bolognese.

Ingredients

2 onions

5 cloves of garlic

2 small carrots

2 spring onions

1 oxo cube

1 tin of tomatoes

soya sauce

tomato ketchup

tomato puree

roasted garlic sauce

beef stock

white pepper

onion granules

garlic powder

worchestire sauce

ground pepper

oregano

mince

olive oil

spaghetti

Directions

To start get a large pot, add a good splash of olive oil and set ring to heat four. Add in peeled and chopped onions, five cloves of garlic, chopped up spring onion and diced carrots. Cook until the onions are translucent then add salt. Break up and add the mince to the pot and stir then add half a teaspoon of oregano, a dash of white pepper, one teaspoon of onion granules and garlic powder, two teaspoons of roasted garlic sauce and beef stock, an oxo cube, a small splash of soya sauce and worchestire sauce, a tablespoon of tomato ketchup, four tablespoons of tomato puree, one tin of chopped tomatoes, ground pepper and a small bit of water.

 Put the cover on, turn the heat down to three then let it simmer for half an hour.

Now for the spaghetti, get a pot, half full with water and add some salt and olive oil. Place it on heat five for about ten minutes then put the spaghetti in. Wait until it is soft then place the it into the pot gently with a spaghetti spoon and leave for ten minutes.

When its all cooked, feel free to jazz it up as you so wish. I have added some freshly grated red medium and mozzarella cheese as well as a sprinkling of parmesan cheese along with a few pieces of herb and mozzarella focaccia on the side to soak up the sauce.

And there you have it, a delicious meal for any occasion.
