Mum's Aussie Weeknight Bolognese

Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the 1 onion and 2 tsp garlic and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Add the 750 g beef mince and 5 slices bacon and continue to fry for 5 minutes until browned.

Pour in 60 ml red wine and cook until liquid evaporates, around 5-10 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Add the 1 carrot and 1 zucchini, frying for another minute or two and mixing well.

Now pour in the 800 g chopped tomatoes, 3 tbsp tomato paste, 4 tbsp tomato sauce / ketchup and 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Stir through until well combined and continue to simmer on medium low for around 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the 500 g pasta according to packet directions. Drain and either add to the sauce and stir through or place into serving dishes and top with the Bolognese sauce.
