Spaghetti Bolognese

250g pasta
1 tin tomatoes
Water
A little oil

Optional ingredients
1 carrot - finely chopped
1 onion - chopped
A few mushrooms - chopped
A dollop of tomato ketchup or puree

Method

Cook the pasta, drain it and put it aside. Heat some oil in the pan then add the mince, frying for 5-10 minutes until it's browned. Add the carrot, onion and mushrooms and fry for a few more minutes. Make sure the mince is thoroughly cooked - fry for a bit longer if you're not sure. Add the tomatoes, herbs, ketchup and beef cubes (with 1/4 pint of hot water). Simmer for 20-30 minutes until it's really thick and lovely. Add the cooked pasta and heat through. Season and serve.
