The base tomato sauce I always do in large portions, use some and freeze rest for later, not a big fan of jar, ready made ones, and this way I always have quick meal or sauce for lasagne. You will find that I use the same sauce for spaghetti Bolognese and for lasagne. Its easy to make, and its delicious!!
Tomato Sauce
1/2 kg on mince meat (the best is beef, but pork or turkey will be good as well)
1 large onion
4 large cloves of garlic
about 300g of mushrooms (optional!!!)
4 tins of chopped and peeled tomatoes
splash of oil
salt, pepper, Provence herb mix and fresh basil (handful)
Heat oil on a large frying pan, bronze the mince meat and add onion and garlic with some salt. When onion will be golden add mushrooms, fry for a little while and add tinned tomatoes. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 45minutes (especially when its beef). Sauce will thicker, meat will be tender, it will bring out all the beautiful flavours. Now season to your taste with salt, pepper and lots of herb mix. When you turn off the heat, add freshly chopped basil leaves.
Serve with spaghetti pasta and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
