Once hot, add onions and celebrity and cook on a high heat until the vegetables soften for around three minutes.<\/p>\n Next, add the mince and use two wooden spatulas to break the mince apart as meat often sticks together Fry until golden and brown.<\/p>\n Then it is time to add both the garlic and tomato puree to the sauce and give it a good stir. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes and redcurrant jelly. Lastly, add your beef stock to the mixture and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover your pan and let the sauce simmer on low heat for around 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Now it is time to cook the mushrooms for about five minutes. In a different lidded pan, melt the butter and fry the mushrooms on high heat for about a minute. Cover with the lid and cook for two minutes. Remove the lid and then cook the mushrooms on high heat again for an additional two minutes. Add both the mushrooms and some thyme to the mince sauce and stir.<\/p>\n Time to make the pasta. Cool the pasta in a pot of boiling water until softened. Drain and then run under water before adding it to the bolognese mixture.<\/p>\n Assemble the bolognese into a large shallow ovenproof dish. Make sure to sprinkle generously with cheese and make for around 25 to 30 minutes. Once golden and bubbling at the top, remove and serve it fresh out of the oven.<\/p>\n
