The dish that anyone can cook.

Very bored of the standard, so I am going to try frying some chopped pancetta and mixing that in with the mince meat.

I will let you know how I get on.

I do Spag bol with smoked bacon when I can be bothered.  Very nice.  and of course much red wine. :eatkf:

Try making it with tagliatelle as well - that's pretty good.

Was tempted to go with tagliatelle actually, as it's easy to make, and the sauce is more likely to stick to it than it does with spaghetti.

Egg pasta is so much nicer than the dried effort.

Fresh pasta whatever its form is unbeatable.  Its soooooooooooo easy to make your own too.

Plus, fresh herbs are much nicer than dried.

 It's what any decent pasta is made from.

Something else I can recommend is making your own pesto sauce.

Very very easy to do and tastes better freshly made than out of a jar.

Always put half a bottle of red wine in my Spag Bol, gives it plenty of taste.

Half for me, half for you...

I will not be taking pictures I am afraid. That is not how I operate in my kitchen.

Pepperoni or chorizo chopped up and added gives it an extra zing...yummy

Ah yes, tagliatelli bolognese is much nicer, with added garlic, bacon (or parma ham) and wine.  Nice.
