Ground Beef, Spinach and Onion, with Spaghetti

The wonderful Italian dish, spaghetti bolognese, which isn't Italian at all (look up Ragu alla Bolognese instead).

Made with Irish ground beef, browned for twenty minutes or so in a little olive oil. After that, I added chopped spinach, diced carrot and onions, and a little later some diced mushrooms. Ten minutes later I added boiling water to the pan, and allowed the dish to simmer for an hour or so.

Added the beef stock and the tomato puree, and stirred through. Cooked for another twenty minutes, and then added the herbs oregano and basil, also stirred through..

Ready to serve in five minutes. Served with wheat free spaghetti, cooked in salted water with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Stirred constantly for the first five minutes (takes ten minutes altogether).

Dress with freshly ground black pepper.
