SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic and onions, pick and finely chop the rosemary, then finely slice the bacon.
• Heat a splash of oil in a casserole pan on a medium heat, add the bacon, rosemary, garlic and onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Add the minced beef, breaking it apart with the back of a spoon, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until starting to brown, then pour in the wine. Leave to bubble and cook away.
• Meanwhile, drain and tip the sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor, blitz to a paste, then add to the pan with the tomatoes. Stir well, break the plum tomatoes apart a little.
• Cover with a lid then place in the oven for 1 hour, removing the lid and giving it a stir after 30 minutes - if it looks a little dry at this stage, add a splash of water to help it along.
• About 10 minutes before the time is up, cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
• Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water, then return to the pan with a few spoons of Bolognese, a good grating of Parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
• Toss to coat the spaghetti, loosening with a splash of cooking water, if needed.
• Divide the spaghetti between plates or bowls, add a good spoonful of Bolognese to each, then serve with a fine grating of Parmesan.

• Add the bacon, rosemary, garlic and veg, then cook with the lid ajar for 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened and just turning golden, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the mince, turn the heat up to high and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until browned all over,stirring and breaking it up with a spoon as you go.

• Re-fill and boil the kettle.
• Carefully fill a large pot three quarters of the way up with boiling water, add a tiny pinch of salt and bring back to the boil.
• Add the spaghetti and cook according to packet instructions - you want to cook your pasta until it is al dente. This translates as 'to the tooth' and means that it should be soft enough to eat, but still have a bit of a bite and firmness to it. Use the timings on the packet instructions as a guide, but try some just before the time is up to make sure it's perfectly cooked.
• Using a microplane, finely grate the Parmesan cheese onto a clean chopping board (if using).
• Once the spaghetti is done, ladle out and reserve a cup of cooking water and keep it to one side, then drain in a colander over the sink.
• Taste the Bolognese sauce and season with a little more pepper or vinegar, if you think it needs it.
• Carefully pick out and discard the bay leaves.
• Put half the sauce into a container, leave to cool, then freeze for another day.
• Stir the spaghetti into the remaining sauce, adding a splash of pasta water to loosen, if needed.
• Divide between bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using), then serve.
