Simple Bolognese

One of my all time favorite meals is Bolognese, not sure how traditional Italian it is probably a British version based on how my Mum made it. Its easy to make only a few ingredients needed, and is wonderful to freeze to have on hand for times you have limited time to cook. A jar of sauce is really not needed :-)

Ingredients:

• one pack of extra lean minced beef (hamburger meat in the US)
• 4 cloves of chopped garlic
• one small onion chopped
• about 5 chopped tomatoes, canned can also be used
• a generous tablespoon of Italian herbs and 2 bay leaves
• olive oil
• about 10 sliced mushrooms 
• 2 small diced carrots and any other vegetables I add for the extra nutritional value :-)

Method:

1. brown the beef with garlic and onions for 5 minutes 
2. add mushrooms and carrot and herbs for 3 minutes 
3. add tomatoes, herbs and bay leaves and simmer on low for 30 minutes 
4. its as simple as that!
5. serve with spaghetti or any desired pasta
