Ingredients
  

  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes
  • 1 beef stock cube
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 cooking onion
  • 500 g good quality beef mince
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 large pinch salt and pepper
  • grated parmesan to serve
  • 125 g spaghtti per person
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 red pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat, add the mince and the beef stock cube and brown the mince.
  • Dice the onion, and add to the mince.
  • Slice the mushrooms and peppers finely, and add to the saucepan. Cook until softened.
  • Mix in the tomato puree and oregano.
  • Add the two tins of tomato puree and simmer on a low heat for roughly 30 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta as per packet instructions and drain loosely. ( I prefer not to use a colander, so there is a little water still left in the bottom of the pan). Add to the sauce and mix well, so all the spaghetti strands are coated.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan.
