Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Combine 1 Tbs. oil and salt pork in a good sized frying pan, cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • 2. Add the beef mince and cook until done through. Discard juices. Set aside.
  • 3. Put 1 Tbs. oil & butter into a medium size pot, heat & add onions & bell pepper, cook until onions are slightly brown.
  • 4. Add the chopped garlic, salt & FG pepper, mushrooms & Italian seasoning, stir well & cook for five minutes.
  • 5. Add the beef mince & heat through.
  • 6. Add tomatoes, tomato paste & wine, stir well & cook, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  • 7. Check for consistency and adjust if necessary. Cook down a bit or add some wine.
  • 8. Adjust spices as necessary and fish out the bay leaves.
  • 9. Serve with warm, fresh cooked pasta.
  • Italians tend to put less sauce on their pasta than Americans. The sauce is to flavor and moisten the pasta, not to drown it. If you need more sauce than this for a pound of cooked pasta maybe you’re using too much sauce.
  • A good sprinkle of fresh grated Parmesan cheese is always nice. Fresh garlic bread & a nice green salad go well with this. Don’t forget the vino. I like Chianti here but whatever works for you.
