Spaghetti Bolognaise

I only used I beef stock cube and that was enough, I also did what someone else said and used 2 rashers of bacon and cooked it together with the onion, carrot, garlic for 10 minutes, I also used brown sugar not white, the only thing I found was it was very oily, I used some bread to soak up the excess oil, as I did not know what else to do, any tips would be great.

If using a stock powder, use 2 tsp (ie 1 tsp per 1 cube). Canned tomato – Mid range canned tomato can be notoriously sour. A touch of sugar makes an incredible difference. The amount required will depend on how sweet / sour the tomatoes and tomato paste is – go by taste. * Variations: Here are some ideas for ways to take this up a notch, if you are so inclined! – Finely chop 1 carrot + celery and saute that with the onion to make a softrito. Cook on medium low heat for 10 minutes for extra amazingness! – Add finely chopped bacon (smokey is the ultimate!) or pancetta, cook with the onion
