There’s nothing like sitting down to the table with all the family and enjoying a big bowl of Spag Bol, however the key to a good sauce is not in the bottle, but the love that goes into making your own from scratch.  It’s so quick and easy that you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do this sooner.  Plus this recipe is great if your batch cooking and it freezers well too.

Instructions

  1. Brown the mince off in a large saucepan, breaking up any lumps as you go, add the oxo, herbs and cumin and cook until the mince has browned.
  2. Add the leeks, garlic, celery and onion and cook down for a further few minutes.
  3. Add the bacon and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. Mix well to combine everything, pop on the lid and leave to simmer for 30-45 minutes.
  4. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and serve.
  5. TIPIf your trying to cut back on your carbs, then swap your spaghetti for something different like steamed courgette and carrot ribbons or one of my favourites is mashed swede and a side salad.
