Spaghetti alla Bolognese



For 4 servings:

1lb of extra lean ground beef

½ medium onion diced

5 cloves of garlic (can be reduced to 2 cloves – I like it garlicky)

1 cup of red wine

1 can of tomatoes

1 tbsp of tomato paste

2 dried bay leaves

Seasoning of salt and pepper

1. Heat oil still simmering, add onions and garlic and cook till onions soft and translucent. Stir frequently to avoid garlic from burning.

2. Add ground beef and stir to break down to small pieces

3. When ground beef browned, add the wine and simmer until evaporates.

4. Add the can of tomatoes and tomato paste, bay leaf and simmer for about one hour or until sauce is thick.
