This is a massive bastardisation of the traditional Spaghetti Bolognese. I love italian food but I also love adding loads of stuff to traditional recipes and seeing what happens. 

I used to make this loads, and have always had a good reaction to it so it can’t be too bad! I cooked this for my friend tonight. His grandad is Italian so I warned him that it wasn’t typically Italian, however he really enjoyed it. Thumbs up!

Serves 4

Ingredients 

250g minced beef (5% fat)

400g tinned chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp tomato purée

2 peppers

1 tsp Maggi liquid seasoning

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp mixed spice

1 tsp mixed herbs

3 cloves garlic

Thumb size piece ginger

2 glasses of wine (one for the sauce, and one to drink ?)
