Spaghetti Bolognese

Ingredients:
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon oil
300g lean minced beef
2 teaspoons minced garlic
420g pasta sauce
1/3 cup water
Grated parmesan cheese
chopped parsley
Spaghetti (dry)


Method:
1. Peel and chop the onion finely. Wipe the mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel or clean cloth, then slice them
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the mince and onions and cook over a high heat, stirring the mince well to break up any lumps as it browns.
3. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Continue cooking for a further 1 minute
4. Pour over the pasta sauce and water. Stir well. Bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer the sauce uncovered for 15-20mins or until beef is cooked. Stir occasionally.
5. Serve the sauce over cooked spaghetti or other pasta. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving

To cook the spaghetti:
1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil. Carefully add spaghetti to the water, gradually allowing it to slide into the pan to avoid breaking the pasta.
2. Stir spaghetti with a large fork to keep the pasta separate.
3. Continue cooking at a rapid boil for 12-15mins until the pasta is al dente (firm to the bite)
4. Remove from the heat. Drain thoroughly. Return to the saucepan and toss a little olive oil through the pasta - this will avoid the pasta sticking together.
