Open a bottle of Red Wine. Preferably your favourite !

Let this cook for about 45 mins.

After 30 mins, taste the sauce. add extra Red Wine OR Worcestershire sauce OR Marmite to taste if required. - No rule to this ... try it and if it tastes good then great !

ALWAYS keep trying the sauce, and add more seasoning if you want to.

Add chilli powder or chilli flakes if you want it a little more hot !

If entertaining a young lady and want to impress ... DO NOT SERVE WITH LONG SPAGHETTI ... choose a delicate pasta that is easy to pick up with a fork like Penne.

If entertaining a man wearing an expensive shirt and you have desires to get him out of it ...serve with long spaghetti and lots of sauce !!!

Sprinkle Grated Parmesan on top and enjoy !
