Sauce

Mince  Beef  and Tomato Sauce

It is my interpretation of Bolognaise Sauce.  It goes well with any pasta that you like,  from spaghetti to gnocchi.  The sauce is rich in fresh tomatoes, tomato from a tin, and tomato paste.

This good Bolognaise sauce,  takes a long time to cook, the same with my minced beef and tomato sauce.  It will take you to cook more than two hours from start to finish.

The best quality beef only to be used and good olive oil, red wine, freshly grated carrots and dry herbs. Add to it some stock to braise the sauce.
