http://www.TheThermalCook.com – Italian Spaghetti Bolognese slow cooked by Mr D in his Thermal Cooker – This is a truly great Bolognese in fact one of the best I have ever tasted. It is adapted for the thermal cooker by me from a recipe by Jo Pratt and could equally be cooked in a slow cooker.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of sun dried tomato olive oil
200g smoked bacon, chopped into pieces
2 onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 celery sticks, chopped
1kg minced beef
200ml red wine
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
280g jar of antipasti mushrooms, drained
2 bay leaves
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
drizzle of balsamic vinegar
280g jar sun dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
freshly ground black pepper
25g fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
800g dried spaghetti


Dave when do you add the sun dried tomatoes ?
