Ok the wife has requested a top notch spaghetti bolognaise to be made by myself.
Any hints or tips from magic seasoning to where you'd source the ingredients? It must be home made, no trans fat ASDA bullshit.
Spaghetti bolognaise
I used to do quite a good Spag Bol. Consider using Turkey mince, keeps the fat down, and tastes rather good. Plenty of Garlic and onions, difficult to overdo these; and don't have the sauce too sloppy. Italians eat most of their Pasta very dry, the sauce is there really just as a side, not to cover absolutely everything. Small portions, serve with a nice Chianti, some iced mineral water, and a rocket and feta salad.

don't use that shitty dried spaghetti
always use fresh .
i can make one in 15 minutes using jars( no trans fat in boiled tomatoes, onions and a few herbs btw lol)
if you're doing it from scratch it'll take absolutely ages, and if you want to do it totally proper and authentic it will take 4hrs(i shit you not) just to simmer the sauce down to the right consistency.

50/50 pork and lamb, far better making a meatball dish that actually has some substance.
Fresh pasta is a deffo no no, won't get the italians using it for this dish if not dried.
Sauce must contain a good amount of wine, white will give a lot cleaner fresher flavour.
I like to have a bit of spice to the sauce rather than a herby galic one.
Baby spinach and mozzerela salad.
