SPAGHETTI / PASTA SAUCE
This is the sauce I've been making for years. It doesn't make a huge quantity, but is easily doubled etc. I think it needs to be simmered for a long time to develop the flavour. I would serve this over any pasta or spaghetti shapes I have on hand and I also use this in my lasagnas. Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms, celery or a little grated carrot if you wish. I do sometimes, but find we like this simple recipe the best.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large fry pan over a medium heat.
- Add the onion and bacon and cook until the onion is golden and tender.
- Add the minced garlic and cook a couple of minutes more.
- Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a fork, until the meat has all changed colour.
- Add the bell pepper and cook for a minute or two.
- Now add the tomato paste and"cook it out" for another minute or two before adding the wine.
- Allow the wine to reduce a little, before adding the remaining sauce ingredients.
- Simmer until reduced and a deep rich red/ brown.
- *You could call this "cooked" in 30 minutes, but I like to let it simmer about 2 hours, stirring regularly to make sure it's not catching.
- Add a little more broth or water if it looks like doing so.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
When my mom made this spaghetti sauce, the house would smell so good that I'd open the windows to torture the neighbors. It even tastes wonderful the next day, when the flavors have really melded. -Vera Schulze, Holbrook, New York
