The ultimate sauce for spaghetti
Makes: 450ml
Time required: 55 minutes plus simmering time
Ingredients:
- 4 (400g) tomatoes, skinned & pureed
- 4 (400g) tomatoes, skinned & chopped
- 1¼ (300ml) beef stock
- 150ml red wine
- ½ cup (100g) lean minced beef
- 1 (75g) carrot, grated
- 1 large (75g) onion
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 flakes (4g) garlic, crushed
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 bay leaf
- 1tsp. (95g) oregano
- ½ tsp. (2g) basil leaves
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. (15ml) oil
Method:
- Prepare the vegetables, making sure that they are diced very fine. Remove strings from celery with a sharp knife before chopping. Remove the rind and cut the bacon into small pieces. Heat the oil in a pan and brown all the meat over a medium heat. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain out the oil. Add the vegetables to the oil. Add a little more oil if necessary, and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Put the meat and vegetables into a saucepan with the tomatoes, herbs and seasoning. Lastly add the tomato puree and stir in the wine. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 45 minutes. Remove bouquet, garni and bay leaf before serving. Serve with spaghetti and other pastas with Parmesan cheese being served separately.
Not suitable to freeze.

What would make you comfortable? I planning on serving an authentic Bolognese sauce with Tagliatelle pasta, Caesar salad, Italian & Garlic Bread and to drink, a nice Chianti (of coarse non-alcohol drinks as well).
I entertain fairly frequently, but not people I don’t know.
Quiche would be lovely, and easy since I raise my own hens, but in all honesty, I eat it quite frequently.

So I made bolognese sauce for the first time and added a little too much red wine (actually, I doubled the recipe so I put in double the amount of wine and half a cup extra). The wine taste is too strong -you can’t taste anything else! Please help.
