2 - 3 onions chopped
2 - 3 cloves garlic crushed
2 bacon rashers chopped

Tin Leggo's Tomato Paste
1/2 lb mince
1/2 green pepper chopped
2 sticks celery chopped
1 chicken stock cube
pepper & salt to taste
1/2 teas nutmeg
1 teas cummin
2 cups water

METHOD:

Fry onions, bacon, cabana, green pepper and celery together until soft and sweated.
Put to one side as Hanny does it or just add the mince as I do it :) Add 1 teas oil if necessary.
When mince has been browned, add spices, stock cube, tomato paste and water.
Stir well.
Simmer for 15 mins or so.

Meanwhile cook the spaghetti, drain and add to the bolognaise when it is done. Or you may choose to put the spaghetti on the individual plates and spoon the bolognaise over the top.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
You can add a salad/vegetables/garlic bread if you choose.

Bon Appetite!
