Help me make my spaghetti bolognaise a bit more tasty please.

[posey]

That's it really. It tends to be a bit bland at times and I'm not really sure why.
Can you help please?!

qua!

quoi

Black pepper, parpika and mixed herbs- I always start it off in a pan to fry the mushrooms, onions and mince (with a beef stock cube) then put in the oven with tinned tomatoes and loads of tomato puree. I usually leave it in for about 30 mins or so. Delish

I normally make mine with red wine, but the other day I only had white, so thought "lets try something!" I chucked in plenty of crisp, dry white wine and reduced it at the tomatoes, then grated plenty of carrot to get mixed in with some sweet peppers. The result was a sweet and fairly light meal, when usually I find spag bol quite heavy.

Agree with startail. spag bol tastes much nicer the next day, esp if you make the pasta too and the sauce soaks into it.

Well thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I have taken the bits that were suggested most frequently and made it yesterday... We have just eaten it and it was fab

some celery salt
and I use mix of various mince meats

Coffee and jam!!!! Really?!?!?

Always eat it the day after you make it. In fact make extra and have a lasagne then have bolognaise the next day

Two tins of tomatoes. :)

Pinch of 5 spice powder.

Tomato ketchup and some grated cheese

Cook for at least two hours. Makes all the difference.

Kallo stock powder, red wine, bay leaves, garlic, smoked paprika all good additions! Got to have celery too in my view...just keep the pieces small so they mix in well

I put a bay leaf in while it's cooking and some red chilli (tiny bit!), sometimes a splash of balsamic vinegar too

Bacon def adds flavour - and I always stir in a teaspoon of English mustard too. Make sure you brown the mince enough too - I always brown it with the bacon, onion and garlic until it's almost catching on the pan, then add crumbled beef stock cubes and loads of tom puree before adding tinned toms, black and white pepper, mustard, lee and perrins and mushrooms. And red wine if it's not too good to go in the dinner.

I had Spag with Chorizo in it at the weekend. Was yummy but spicy! I'd go for the bacon and a bit of marmite and weeny bit of chocolate. With good beef, itmakes it super yummy!
