2 large onions, finely chopped
1.5kg minced beef
200g(-ish) cubetti or bacon
3 – 4 cans tomatoes
1 carton passata
1 bottle red wine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 -2 bay leaves
2 tsp sugar
salt to taste (make it a spot saltier to compenate for the pasta, later)
1 tsp ground black pepper
herbs to taste (italian dried mix, fresh basil, margarum, whatever you like)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes a lot of sauce. I freeze it and take out lumps of it as I need it. great for a fast supper. Server on pasta of your choice, and slap on some parmasan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fry the onions until they’re soft and translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the cubetti\/bacon, then the mince and cook off. Stir it well to make sure you don’t get big lumps of cooked meat in the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the tomatoes & passata, wine, bay leaf, sugar and garlic. You can add salt at the end when you taste it. The bacon will add some salt so always taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simmer for an hour or so (lid off) so that it condenses down to something dry enough. At this point – taste it, lots. add herbs and pepper, and if needed some extra salt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hook out the bay leaves, Serve or freeze…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
