Cooking With Me...

'Sup bitchez.

This is my first proper attempt at Spag Bol, and it turned out fantastic. Signor Alessandro presents...

Ingredients (for 2 people):

1x Lloyd Grossman Bolognese Sauce
1x Leek
300g Minced Beef
250g Spaghetti
1x bottle of cooking wine (Merlot)
1x bottle of olive oil
Parmesan cheese

Step 1:

* Cut the ends off the leeks, remove the outer leaves and slice down the middle.
* Wash out the gritty bits.
* Slice again into quarters before chopping across.
* Drizzle olive oil into a cooking pan and stick on full heat.
* Put in the chopped leeks and stir, making sure it doesn't stick to the pan.

Step 2:

* Cook the leeks until soft and then add mince meat to the pan.

* Break up the mince meat and mix with the leeks.

* When the meat has gone brown, add some red wine (around 250ml, or about a large glass full).

* Leave the meat to marinate on a low heat with the lid on for about 5mins.

Step 3:

* While the meat is marinating, fill a second saucepan with 2.0L of water, adding 2tbs of olive oil.

* While you wait for the water to boil, add the Bolognese Sauce (tm) to the meat and turn to full heat.

* Once the meat sauce is boiling, turn the heat down, replace the lid, and leave to simmer.

Step 4:

* Once the water has boiled, add the spaghetti, turn down the heat and replace the lid.

* Continue to check and stir the meat sauce, ensuring that it does not stick to the pan.

* Also remain vigilant of the spaghetti, occasionally stirring.

* Cook the spaghetti for 10mins.

Step 5:

* Dish up.

* Garnish with parmesan.

* Serve.
