tomatoes, onions, garlic, salt and pepper, tsp sugar, sachet of tomato cup-a-soup and good old tomato sauce, sometimes add mushrooms or courgettes. brown the mince and onion, add the garlic and other things, lastly the tomatoes and perhaps a 1/2 can of water, cook the spag drain and add nob of butter and pepper mix it through, plate it then mince on the top with a good cheese grated on the top. yummo.

Here is what I add to mine, saute onion, bacon and grated carrot, add mince, cook until browned, season, add 1/2 cup milk, cook until evaporated, add 1/2 cup red wine, cook until evaporated, add tin toms, beef stock and bay leaf, simmer for at least 1 hour.

Anchovies - mush a cpl up into a bit of the tomator puree before adding to the mince etc, and lots of fresh herbs.

Balsamic vinigar - great with tomatoes, enhances the flavour

About a Tb of pesto. Gives it a real lift.

the last secret ingrediant is BUTTER not a lot but enough to give the sauce a rich taste and a shiny glaze.
blondie4, Feb 14, 2:33pm
my brother in law is italian , his advice is keep the ingrediants simple
and add the butter at the very end.
rkcroft, Feb 14, 7:22pm
sugar... . . just a spoonful... . it enhances the tomato flavour. I also like to use a mix of lean beef and lean pork mince. It must have wine and it must have sh*t loads of garlic and fresh herbs.
