Hi Keri,Thanks for having a go! Its actually called spaghetti and red stuff in my house as we can't bring ourselves to call it a bolognese.
Ingredients
- 1 tin corned beef
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 4 tbls tomato pure
- pinch pepper
- pinch sugar (if required)
Method
- Cut the corned beef in to cubes and warm in the pan with the chopped tomatoes. Heat the mixture until it boils and the corned beef has broken down. Add and stir in the tomato purée. Sometimes sugar is necessary depending on the tin of tomatoes used. Season with a pinch of pepper
- Cook the pasta and serve with the bolognese sauce.
- Thats it!
