- Rapidly boil the spaghetti for 10 minutes or so.
- Heat the oil.
- Add steak or mince and fry it quickly until brown.
- Add the tinned tomatoes and the red wine.
- Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Slowly crumble the stock cubes and stir.
- Allow the Bolognese to simmer slowly. Regularly stir to avoid sticking to the pan.
- Drain spaghetti and divide into portions.
- Spoon the Bolognese onto plates.
- Garnish and promptly serve while hot.

Sarah, again, I just love your site. I'm far from perfect when it comes to using proper grammar. But, it is important to me. I have some words that have always given me trouble. But, I won't post them under this topic since you don't have a blog entry specific to that issue. I would like to do so in the future if it is ok with you.
I fancy myself as a "wannabe writer" and want to learn as much from you as I can. I have gone back over some of my posts and was shocked by my poor spelling and grammar. I can't tell you the number of times I will edit a post on my blog. Again, great site and look forward to posting here in the future.
Hi David, thank you for your kind words!
I'm very glad to have you here!
If you have any specific requests email me and I will do a post on your request as soon as I can!

Thanks
Sarah :-)
