Spicing up a Spag/Bol recipe.

Hi all, don't usually use curries or chillies as the man about the house does not like anything spicy. However I am making the above for others who love their spicy food - would a red chilli, finely diced, be okay! How many for 500g of meat, for a fairly hot bite!

I love that crushed chilli in oil; found in small jars sometimes in the vege department at the supermarche.I use half a teaspoon for tame or leopard-print level; more for vixen-level.

Opps.startly slowly and taste, taste, taste.Whoa.you're hot!

Just separate out a bit for the man, and add chillies into the rest at the last bit of cooking time.

I like spicy food and you can't go wrong with adding a finely diced capsicum to your basic bolognaise and a few dried chilli flakes.

A small pinch of ground allspice gives a depth of flavour and a small amount of brown sugar.

I love a decent splash (okay more of a big sploooooosh!) of sherry/port/fortified wine . gives it a certain *mmmmm* factor

Serve hubbys first and then add some chilli sauce to the rest
