I tried it the other day and it was very nice  i didnt add any wine though because the wife is pregnant and she doesnt want anything to drink (including food cooked with alcohol)

Still a nice spag bol though

The recipe looks excellent and I will have to give it a go. I used to spend a lot of time trying to adapt and improve bolognaise recipes until we discovered the Seeds of Change sauce. If you haven't tried it, give it a go. It wont be as nice as this, but for a 10 minute tea its hard to beat!

Here's my spag bol, although the others sound good too.

1 large Onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 tins of plump plum tomatoes
700g grams of lean steak mince
A good olive oil, don't use virgin as it breaks down into fat above a certain temperature
dried or fresh Thyme
Dried or fresh Basil
tomato puree about 60g
that magical dash of around 12 splashes of Worcestorshire sauce
button mushrooms finely sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
a desertspoon full of brown sugar

Heat the oil to cover the bottom of a heavy pan
Add the onion and fry gently until golden brown
add the chopped garlic and lightly brown
add the meat and brown
add the 2 tins of plump plum tomatoes
add a little water at this stage if the consistency is too thick
add the thyme and basil
add the worcestershire sauce, the tomaoto puree and the sugar
season with salt and pepper
simmer gently. Lean steak mince needs 20-30 minutes to cook through properly
Add the mushrooms and let the juices all combine together

You'll end up with a wonderful sauce to spoon over fresh pasta

Just an update to this one .. i now use a large bottle of passata instead of the tinned toms .. really makes a difference..
