There are many ways to make a Spaghetti Bolognese & the debates on what is the best one are far ranging. For myself I like to keep it simple with 3 steps.
Step 1: When I make one I like to always make my Tomato Sauce
Step 2: Then separately I like to brown my mince & let half a glass of red wine absorb completely into the mince. After this has done I will now blend the meat in a food processor, the main reason I do this is twofold:
1. The mince can be quite tough & blending it will really break it up & make it very tender
2. The blended mince when added to your tomato sauce will now race up & down each individual piece of spaghetti when you serve it.
Step 3: I will fry some finely chopped onions, carrots & green pepper with garlic & chilli. Then I will add the tomato sauce & also blended mince.
All up you get a great taste & flavour, I am well aware there are other ways to make other versions but this is simply the one I use. Personally I try not to eat Pork meat so I don’t add pancetta to the sauce which is also very tasty, also pork mince can be used instead of beef mince ….again it’s all about personal preference
