Recipe: Original Bolognaise Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients: fresh tomatoes, garlic, minced beef and pork, cans of tomato puree, extra virgin olive oil, butter, red wine (small amount), herbs (optional). And last but not least - an extra helping of love. :)

Steps:

1. Cut a cross slit at the bottom of the tomatoes (so that after boiling them for a while, the skin of tomatoes can be peeled off easily). Boil the tomatoes in water (till the skins appear to crack a bit and can be peeled. make sure its not overboiled till too soggy).
2. Peel off skins of tomatoes. Blend them (careful not to overdo it till it's too watery).
3. Pour some olive oil onto a heated pan. Fry some garlic till golden brown, then pour the blended tomatoes in it. Let it simmer (low fire).
4. While waiting, put some butter onto another heated pan. After melting it, add olive oil (so then you dont have to use just butter). Fry some garlic till golden brown, then add the minced beef and pork and fry till its cooked (careful not to overcook it else it'll be hard). Off fire and set it aside while waiting for the tomatoes to be done.
5. When tomatoes are ready, add it to the meat, mix well and let it simmer. This might take a while.
6. When blended tomatoes and meat are well-mixed and not much juice is left, add tomato puree (depending on how sour you want it to be) and mix well. Add wine to your taste. Stir well and let it simmer a while more.

There you go! You have your spaghetti sauce, ready to serve. :) Sprinkle some herbs eg. minced mint on top of your serving of pasta and sauce if you fancy. Oh and cheese powder if you like too!
