Ainsley Harriott Lamb Mince and Beef Mince Spag Bol Red Wine

Introduction

Originally an Ainsley Harriot recipe from Gourmet Express, but slightly tweaked. Example he adds the salt in the marinade, I find it's better to let the meat absorb the wine and add the salt later at cooking time otherwise the salt draws OUT the liquid from the meat. Anyway, it takes only a little preparation the day before, and the day your guests come it's all ready to just cook. Very simple, but very nice! so here, at the request of dear Cobes....

Method

Red Wine Bolognese is a community recipe submitted by dazzy08 and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

Place all the meat in a bowl and add the wine, oregano, and pepper. Cover and keep in the fridge for 4 - 12 hours.

Put the garlic, onion and oil into a large cold pan, and turn on the heat. Bring it to a gentle sizzle for a few minutes.

Add the mince and all the marinade together with the tomatoes, purée, chilli flakes and salt & some more pepper. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Remove the lid and reduce for approx 15 mins or until you have a rich, dark sauce.

Cook the spaghetti in the meantime, in a large pan of boiling water (salt it when it comes to the boil) until al denté.

Stir the chopped parsley through the sauce, double check the seasoning. Add to the pan of spaghetti and toss through.

Have the parmesan on the table to sprinkle over, or sprinkle over some emmental and place the whole pan under the grill to brown. Don't use a white tablecloth ;-)
