This is the best spaghetti sauce recipe that I've ever made! The original recipe is found in:
400 Sauces Dips, Dressings, Salsas, Jams, Jellies & Pickles
By Catherine Atkinson, Christine France and Maggie Mayhew
HOWEVER - I've changed it quite a bit :) I will post the original recipe and any changes that I've made will be in parentheses.
Bolognese Sauce with Spaghetti
2 TB Olive oil (3TB)
1 onion, finely chopped (1 large or 2 medium)
1 Garlic clove, crushed (2-3 garlic cloves)
1tsp dried mixed herbs
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (sometimes I use 1/2tsp)
1lb ground beef
14oz can chopped Italian plum tomatoes (2 14oz cans Italian style stewed tomatoes)
3TB kethup
1TB sun-dried tomato puree (I've never found "sun-dried" so I just use regular)
1tsp Worchestershire sauce (2 tsp!!)
1tsp dried oregano
2 cups of beef stock (I use one 14.5 oz can of beef broth)
3 TBS red wine (never use it)
salt and pepper to taste
Cooked pasta of your choice
fresh graded Parmesan cheese
That's it!
The sauce is quite runny (as you can see from the photo) so I always make garlic bread to place under my noodles and sauce, it is an amazing dinner and the girls love it!
Enjoy :)
