Instructions

  • Cook the beef mince: heat 1 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy based pan at high heat. Add the garlic, beef mince, salt and pepper. Cook till browned (5 to 8 mins) and use a wooden spoon to stir and break up any clumps of meat as you go. The mince will turn a medium brown colour as it cooks.
  • Add the sauce ingredients: pour in the passata (tomato puree), diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion and dried Italian herbs. Stir to combine.
  • Simmer: turn the heat to low, place a lid over the pan (optional, not essential) and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cook fettuccine: bring to the boil a medium sized saucepan with a teaspoon of salt. Cook the linguine according the the instructions on the packet. Then drain and discard the pasta water.
  • Serve: portion the cooked fettuccine onto serving plates. Top with spoonful's of the bolognese sauce. Generously garnish with freshly grated cheese, cracked black pepper and finely chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Note 1 - Olive oil: if using lean beef mince use 1 ½ tablespoons. If using regular beef mince use 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Note 2 - Tomato passata (tomato puree): this might seem like a weird amount. It is the full amount of the standard sized bottle of this sauce.
