State of that top photo :face_vomiting: Keep an espresso cup of pasta water back, whack the spag in with the meat at the end and add the water to bind if needed.

Had a Zizzi spag bol on Saturday. I no longer fear oblivion.

Bolognese:

  • Make as much as I/we need for one meal
  • Make loads and freeze leftovers
  • Make loads, freeze leftovers but never actually eat them
  • Make loads and end up eating it for about 6 meals in a row.

Mixed. Definitely mixed.

Minced beef, a few rashers of streaky bacon, Onion and garlic, fresh rosemary, red wine, chopped toms and a jar of sundries tomatoes blitzed.

Apparently it’s not a real bolognese unless it has carrots in it. Carrots in bolognese are shit.

My gf insists on celery in the base, too. If there’s one thing I hate more than carrots, it’s celery.

Had this discussion with my colleague who is of Italian extraction. The carrot/celery thing is common but it depends on whereabouts you come from in Italy. Who knew?

I’d fart the house down if you fed me lasagna.
