I’m just not a big spaghetti bolognese man. Think it’s more the fact I very rarely eat pasta that’s the main thing. Not gonna rustle one up midweek (too many calories) and I’m certainly not going to do one at the weekend where I like to branch out a bit.
My wife bangs one out every now and again mind. It’s fine.
Yeah I get so annoyed watching him throw herbs and shit around the kitchen or just serve up the dinner slapped out on the kitchen table
but omg wanna eat it
Not going to post the full recipe here as it’s basically just variations on the above, but haven’t seen courgette mentioned yet. Definitely an underrated bolognese veg ingredient.
Glass of red, little bit of sugar and some Tabasco also a must.
I could’ve put a placeholder in for other veg that might get added to the mix, you don’t want many, unless it’s a pure veg bolognese but maybe half a courgette/pepper/mushrooms if you have them.
Don’t think I’ve ever been angrier at a recipe than when he said to make sweet potato and mango mash by mashing them together boiled sweet potato and mango chutney on a chopping board and serving it like that. Or at myself for actually doing it. What a fucking mess.
Usually just onion, courgette and carrot for me. Occasionally celery too. Me and the housemate tend to take turns making spag bol and he always uses mushrooms, peppers and bacon (none of which I use), so I at least get some variety. I’ve learned to like the bacon for the flavour it adds, but mushrooms don’t belong in there imo.
Jars are pointless, they are just tomatoes, herbs and sugar, I am capable of buying them separately.
Onion, garlic, fry.
Add mince, fry
Add marmite, Hendersons, sugar, stock cube, various herbs to taste, smoked paprika, bit of chilli, garlic powder, pepper
Add 2 tins tomatoes, fill up tins with water and add that.
Simmer for ages, several hours. Salt at the end.
