I tend to go with:
1 Onion
1 Garlic clove
Beef Mince (500g)
Red wine (a few glasses - 2 for the pot, 1 for the chef)
Beef stock
2 Tins Chopped Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Bay leaves
Basil
Oregano
chop onion and garlic, fry lightly and add tomato puree - then set aside.
Using the same pan, brown the mince, drain off any fat, then add a glass (or two) of red wine. Wait til the alcohol has burned off.
Add the onions and garlic back in, add beef stock and two tins of chopped tomatoes.
Add the chopped mushrooms, two bay leaves (count them in, and count them when you take them out before serving), 2 teaspoons of oregano, 1 teaspoon of basil.
Leave to bubble away for 15 mins with a lid on, then 15 minutes without the lid - put your pasta on while you're waiting.
Quick and easy - there are better recipies, but this is the one I use; and I have bolognaise a few times a month.
