White Wine Spaghetti Sauce

Serving Size, Ingredients and Equipment:

For a good 5 portions:

- 1lb/450g of minced beef
- 8 pieces of bacon, chopped
- 1 large onion, minced
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 glass of dry white wine
- 1 can of tomatoes
- 1/2 can tomato puree (or a large tube of tomato puree)
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bunch of fresh basil leaves

Cooking Instructions and Methods:

In a large pan, give the minced beef, bacon, onion and garlic a good fry in a tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the white wine and reduce until no more liquid remains. Add the oregano, canned tomatoes and tomato puree.

Add the salt and some freshly ground black pepper, bring to a boil and simmer gently for a couple of hours.

Add some ripped up fresh basil just before serving.

Serve the sauce with pasta and some white wine.

Options: add some bay leaves while cooking, 1/2 a cup of minced carrots, or, for a heavier taste, try using some Marsala red wine instead of the white wine.
