Spaghetti bolognese or 'spag bol' as it's often known, is one of Italy's most loved exports but the dish we all know and love has come a long way from its humble beginnings in Bologna, Italy. Below we will show you how to create an authentic spaghetti bolognese that will feed four and take a little over two hours to create! What you'll need ---------------- 2 large, chopped onions 3 crushed garlic cloves 2 chopped carrots 6 strips of pancetta A stick of celery 1kg of steak mince 2 cans of chopped tomatoes Salt & pepper Olive oil Red wine 800g of tagliatelli Parmesan How to cook it -------------- * Heat a large glug of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the bacon until golden. * Throw in the onions and garlic and cook until they have softened. * Increase the heat and add the mince, cook until browned. * Pour in two glasses of red wine and cook until the sauce has reduced by a third. * Lower the temperature and add the tomatoes, celery and a pinch of salt. * Cover the pan and allow to cook for around 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. * Cook the spaghetti in salted water. Once cooked drain the water off and dish the pasta onto your plates. * Add your bolognese sauce to the top of the pasta before finishing with a pinch of pepper and a grating of parmesan. Make it even more authentic --------------------------- If you would like to make your bolognese dish even more authentic why not try using some thick tagliatelle pasta instead of spaghetti? According to Italian traditionalists, any bolognese sauce should be accompanied by tagliatelle pasta and not spaghetti! Image courtesy of flickr user avlxyz."
