Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

For the spaghetti, bring water to a boil with a little salt and sunflower oil. Cook the pasta over low heat until tender. Meanwhile, for the Bolognese sauce, fry the minced meat in olive oil. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Add to the meat and sauté until translucent. Add the tomato paste and then the canned tomatoes, and stir into the mixture. Chop the canned mushrooms and stir in with any draining liquid, thinning with a little more water if necessary. Season the sauce with Parmesan cheese, sugar, salt, pepper, thyme, marjoram, basil, and oregano. I always add a bit of homemade chili paste. Try it: eat the Bolognese cold on buttered bread!
