Fettucini Bolognese

I didn't particularly enjoy all those carrots, but the boys [Jacob and James] loved it and had second helpings....


2 tbsp olive oil,
1 brown onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
250 g mushrooms, sliced
500 g beef mince
400 g canned chopped tomatoes
some red wine
350 g fettuccine pasta
salt and pepper



Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Add the beef mince, season with salt and pepper and stir to break up the lumps. Cook for 5-7 mins over high heat until browned. Add the onion and cook for 2 mins then add the garlic, carrots and mushrooms, cook for 2 mins until just softened. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 30 mins, add some red wine if the mixture dries out.



Cook the fettuccine according to packet directions. Toss fettuccine with sauce in fettuccine cooking pan.
