Tagliatelle with Ragu Sauce (Bolognese)

Prepare the onion, garlic and carrots (you can chop these using a food processor – first the onions with garlic, then carrots separately).

Get a deep sauce pot and heat the oil and butter over medium heat.

Add onion, garlic and carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes, while stirring.

Add the ground beef and brown while breaking up the meat with a spoon. Add chopped mushrooms (you know you want them!) and stir.

When meat is browned, add remaining ingredients, stirring as you go. Bring the sauce to a boil.

Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Halfway through cooking, check for flavour and add any spices to your taste.

15 minutes before the sauce is ready, boil water in a large pot for the pasta. Fresh pasta should take 3-4 minutes to cook al dente.

Serve and enjoy!
