Beef ragù made healthier

Instructions

1 Spray a large saucepan with oil, add the bacon, onion, celery, garlic and bay leaves and cook for 6–8 min until soft. Add the beef mince and cook over a high heat for 5–6 min until cooked through. Add the tomato purée and fry for 1 min. Add the mixed herbs, wine and chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil, then bubble for 5 min.

2 Reduce to a simmer and cook over a low heat for 30–40 min until the sauce is thickened. Discard the bay leaves, then serve the bolognese with the cooked spaghetti.
