Ingredients

BOLOGNAISE SAUCE

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 450g beef mince
  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • ¼ cup red wine, beef stock or chicken stock
  • 70g tomato paste
  • 1 can cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken or beef stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ bag baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped

TO SERVE

  • 400g fresh tagliatelle pasta
  • ½ block grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

  1. a large pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large, deep fry-pan on medium heat and cook mince for about 6 minutes, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until browned.
  3. Add onion and carrot to pan with mince and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Pour in wine/first measure of stock and leave to evaporate for about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, cherry tomatoes, chicken/beef stock, dried oregano and sugar. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, until sauce has reduced.
  5. Use hands to separate strands of tagliatelle and cook in pot of boiling water for 4-6 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and return to pot with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Add spinach to bolognaise sauce, cover and leave to wilt for about 2 minutes. Stir spinach through sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
