Ingredients

800g 5% Beef Mince

1 Large onion, finely chopped

4 large cloves of garlic

2 celery sticks, chopped

2 carrots, diced

3 tins Best quality tinned tomatoes

1 beef stock cube

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Red Wine Stock Cube (optional)

1 tbsp Dried Basil

1 tbsp Dried Oregano

1 tbsp Dried Parsley

2 tbsp Tomato Puree

200ml low fat milk

Salt and Pepper

Method

Blitz the veggies in a food processor or chop finely. In a large heavy saucepan, cook the vegetables under a very low heat for about 20 mins, or until the veg has nicely softened. You don’t need oil here, only a splash of water if you feel if starts to stick. Stir regularly.

Turn up the heat and add the mince, getting a nice sear on the meat. This brings out a lovely flavour.

Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer under a low heat for 45 mins- 1 hour. Serve with 60g (dried weight) of Spaghetti or if you’d like a lower carb option, try using Courgetti!
