Ingredients

• Beef mince
• Onions
• Shallots
• Clove of garlic
• Salt + pepper
• Herbs de Provence
• Tinned tomatoes
• Tomato paste
• Pasta
• Olive oil

Get a big pan nice and hot and put a dash of olive oil in and wait a few seconds before putting some chopped garlic in. Just before the garlic browns add in the minced beef and stir until the meat is browned off. Add in some chopped onions and shallots and stir for a few minutes. Then add in the tinned tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs and salt n pepper to taste. You can also add some red wine if you like at this stage. Bring to a simmer and keep it there for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whilst the Bolognese is simmering bring a pan of water to the boil and add a little salt. Add the pasta and cook to your preference.

Drain off the pasta and serve straight away with a healthy covering of the Bolognese sauce. Top with cheese and serve with a side salad if you like.
