    Looks great, Chitty !
    I don't eat pasta much, just try cut on carbs, but I'd make an exception for sure.

    You've never bought a fine bottle of anything.

    You will be risking severe food poisoning or salmonella, but as a short term diet plan it's so silver linings and all that...

    Generally a fine bottle of merlot is not referred to as gut rot. But perhaps your level of 'fine' is.

    Ingredients


    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 4 rashers smoked streaky bacon, finely chopped
    • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
    • 2 carrots, trimmed and finely chopped
    • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
    • 2-3 sprigs rosemary leaves picked and finely chopped
    • 500g beef mince

    For the bolognese sauce


    • 2 x 400g tins plum tomatoes
    • small pack basil leaves picked, ¾ finely chopped and the rest left whole for garnish
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • 2 fresh bay leaves
    • 2 tbsp tomato purée
    • 1 beef stock cube
    • 1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
    • 125ml red wine
    • 6 cherry tomatoes sliced in half

    To season and serve


    • 75g parmesan grated, plus extra to serve
    • 400g spaghetti
    • crusty bread to serve (optional)

    Method


    • STEP 1Put a large saucepan on a medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
    • STEP 2Add 4 finely chopped bacon rashers and fry for 10 mins until golden and crisp.
    • STEP 3Reduce the heat and add the 2 onions, 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks, 2 garlic cloves and the leaves from 2-3 sprigs rosemary, all finely chopped, then fry for 10 mins. Stir the veg often until it softens.
    • STEP 4Increase the heat to medium-high, add 500g beef mince and cook stirring for 3-4 mins until the meat is browned all over.
    • STEP 5Add 2 tins plum tomatoes, the finely chopped leaves from ¾ small pack basil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 2 bay leaves, 2 tbsp tomato purée, 1 beef stock cube, 1 deseeded and finely chopped red chilli (if using), 125ml red wine and 6 halved cherry tomatoes. Stir with a wooden spoon, breaking up the plum tomatoes.
    • STEP 6Bring to the boil, reduce to a gentle simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 1 hr 15 mins stirring occasionally, until you have a rich, thick sauce.
    • STEP 7Add the 75g grated parmesan, check the seasoning and stir.
    • STEP 8When the bolognese is nearly finished, cook 400g spaghetti following the pack instructions.
    • STEP 9Drain the spaghetti and either stir into the bolognese sauce, or serve the sauce on top. Serve with more grated parmesan, the remaining basil leaves and crusty bread, if you like.
    That's the recipe I used the other day for lunch. https://teakdoor.com/the-kitchen/195...ml#post4408704 (Lunch ... the second course)

    Parmesan isn't the real deal.

    The grated strands are too long.

    An aussie brand calling itself 'Perfect Italiano' is really taking the piss.

    @chittio - I would've sliced the mushrooms. But other than that, no complaints. I would've eaten your dish mucho!

    Ooh. So the Marilyn - Chitty loveteam is back. Should I remove the dust from my passport and get ready for being bridesmaid in a Las Vegas wedding? Cheerio!
