Ingredients:

• 500g minced beef
• 500g passata
• 500g beef stock (we use low salt oxo cubes!)
• 100g tomato purée
• A generous handful of chopped spinach
• A handful of grated or chopped carrot
• A handful of grated or chopped courgette
• A handful of grated or chopped mushrooms
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• Worcester sauce to taste (we like a good 2 tsps full)
• Black pepper to taste
• Cooking oil or fry light for cooking
• (You can add chopped onions and tomatoes too, my husband hates them though so we make it without.)

Method:

• Brown the meat in a pan with the garlic (and onions if you are using them).
• Add the passata, stock, tomato purée and Worcester sauce.  Allow to cook for 2 minutes then turn down to a gentle simmer.
• Add the vegetables and herbs. Mix well and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
• Serve with pasta, spaghetti or in a pita bread for something a bit different!   Harry likes his with a bit of cheese sprinkled in top!
