In the absence of our resident genuine Italian Stallion in the kitchen(Stop sulking you Mardarse and come back to the pots and pans)
Time to knock up a healthy, tasty meal for the family for under a fiver.
Two types of pasta, Fusilla and Conchiglie.
Chopped tomatoes with fresh Basil.
Black Pepper.
Extra Virgin Olive oil.
1/2 kg of minced beef.
Baby button mushrooms.
Fresh Garlic
A 85 pence of the shelf Bolognese sauce from Aldi(yes, i bought a big issue)
Una bottiglia di vino rosso
Firstly....
Pour a glass of red...
Then....
Slice the garlic to a hairs width so it dissolves in the hot virgin olive oil, add the black pepper and stir not forgetting to take the occasional sip of vino..
When the garlic has dissolved add the minced beef and some red wine to the mixture for flavour..
Important note: Keep stirring the wooden spoon and sipping the vino
Once the mince is cooked about three minutes later you can add the baby button mushrooms,chopped tomatoes with basil and Bolognese sauce ..
Add the pasta to the pan of boiling water for 30 minutes.
Let the sauce boil for five minutes to bring the flavour out, then simmer for 55mins.
Important note: Keep stirring the wooden spoon and sipping the vino
After an hour we have Perfezione per te...
No garlic bread or Parmesan cheese required...
