About Australian Spaghetti Bolognese
Spaghetti bolognese is a familiar Australian family meal of pasta with a beef and tomato sauce. Women's Weekly Food presents this version as a classic spag bol, with onion, carrot and celery.
Tomatoes bring tang and the beef provides savoury depth. Garlic, parsley and dried oregano season the sauce, while parmesan adds a salty dairy finish.
The minced sauce sits over strands of spaghetti, with softened vegetables throughout. Grated parmesan is scattered on top, completing the simple bowl of pasta.
