Spaghetti Bolognese

In 1995 my search for the best bolognese pasta sauce ended when I stumbled across this recipe. The flavour is rich and moreish.

This has become my go-to when stuck for dinner. The trick is to make a double batch and freeze it in portions. It defrosts very fast when put in zip-lock silicone pouches.
