Everyone is bored with my bolognese, help me jazz it up [edited by MNHQ to correct typo]

[Crunchymum]

I follow (loosely) Gino D'Acampo's recipe so I start with sofritto / use pork and beef mince / wine

I add a few extra bits as well (he doesn't use garlic in it ) but everyone is fed up of it.

Any suggestions for improvements or alternative recipes?

A pinch of cinnamon

Marmite when you're making the sauce, balsamic glaze/ drizzle on the meal when it's ready.

I don't like wine in bolognese (or gizz). Do you want to change up the texture or the flavour? For flavour I use stock, a splash of balsamic, a splash of olive oil, depends how authentic you want to be but if you like arrabiata you could add sliced chilli.

Some dried mushrooms
Splash of Worcester sauce

Best leave the gizz out though

Surely just lay off the spag bol for a while? Come back to it in a couple months and everyone will enjoy it again.

Worcestershire sauce
Beef oxo cube

Oh and I like using smoked garlic instead of ordinary

Is it "jizz" as in you want to make something different?

The word makes sense in my head.

And thanks for the suggestions! I won't try them all at once though.

Erm I don't think that's what you meant to type :o

Agree make other things for a while and come back to the spag bol when people start to miss it. When I made it all the time we got fed up of it as well.

Best leave the gizz out though

i agree! Season it the regular way please!

It's one of the very few meals everyone eats (we have it once a week)

Jizz is even worse :o 💦💦

I think you mean "jazz it up"?

Parmesan melted into the sauce
Agree with Worcester sauce
Sacrilege , but a splodge of HP sauce
Oregano or finely chopped basil
Instead of mince can you stretch to braising steak?

@Crunchymum you may want to google jizz!

Maybe you mean jazz it up?

My friend recently cooked me a spag bol with bacon lardons in it, was really lovely.

Don’t do what I did - added a tin of tuna to make a sort of turf and surf. We had a takeaway that night!!!

The word you're looking for is jazz

And I second the poster that suggested cinnamon, I also put a little allspice and a couple of cloves as that's the Greek way!

Add smoked bacon 😋😋

Meat
Onion powder or small fine chopped onion.
Stock
Tomato paste
Basil
Oregano
Sugar
Garlic (tiny bit I don't like much)
Simmer for ages.
Tastes great.

If I heard someone had jizzed up my spag bol I'd be a bit put off as well to be honest

Spunky spag bol has made my night 😁

Any parmesan rinds you may have, loads of tomato purée cooked out really well before you add liquids, a good dash of milk makes a big difference. Don't forget some sweetness in teh form of honey/sugar to counter acidity.

Also sherry rather than wine is very mellow in the sauce. And let it cook for ages. Serve with tons of torn basil and grated parmesan.

Please don’t put gizz/jizz in your Bolognese
The word your looking for is jazz...
However, bacon lardons are lovely. I also really like Jamie Oliver’s recipe so maybe worth checking that out?

Smoked paprika, finely diced carrots and celery and some Worcester sauce
