This is my version of the recipe. Although the authentic spaghetti bolognese calls for many more ingredients, I made this one work, it was pretty delicious.




Ingredients
Basil1 pinch
Chicken Stock2 tablespoons
Coriander Leaves2 - 3 sprigs
Garlic3 cloves
Grated Mozarella Cheesea sprinkle
Grated Parmesan Cheese20g
Milk2 tablespoons
Minced Beef200g
Mushrooms4
Olive Oil1 tablespoon
Onion1
Parsley3 - 4 sprigs
Spaghetti Pasta200g
Tomato Puree1 cup
Tomatoes2
White Wine2 tablespoons

Cooking Instructions
Preparation:

1. Finely chop 2 - 3 cloves of garlic, onion, parsley, fresh coriander and tomatoes. Alternatively you can use canned chopped tomatoes, which contains a lot of sauce so it could also replace the cup of tomato puree. Use approximately 400g of canned chopped tomatoes with sauce.

2. Dice the mushrooms.


Cooking Spaghetti Pasta:

1. Boil some water in a pot. Season water with a teaspoon of salt.

2. Once the water comes to the boil, add 200g of dried spaghetti pasta and simmer for about 10 - 12 minutes until the pasta is cooked.


While the spaghetti is simmering, you can make the sauce:

1. Saute onions and garlic in 1 tablespoonful of olive oil for about 20 seconds

2. Add 200g of minced beef and cook on medium heat until meat has changed colour

3. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, mushroom to the pan. Stir and mix everything together. Season with salt, black pepper and a pinch of basil. Add finely chopped parsley, fresh coriander leaves, 2 tablespoonful of milk, 2 tablespoonful of chicken stock and 2 tablespoonful of white wine.

4. Leave to simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly and add a sprinkle of grated mozarella cheese. Stir well. The sauce will thicken as the cheese melts into it.

5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water and add to the pan with the sauce. Reduce to low heat and gently stir the pasta into the sauce. Keep stirring for another 3 - 4 minutes to ensure all of the flavours have infused into the pasta then turn off heat and serve.

6. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese onto the pasta and garnish with a pinch of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves.

7. Serve with 2 slices of toasted crusty bread drizzled in extra virgin olive oil and fresh coriander leaves.
