To be clear, spag bol isn’t about making something ‘traditional’, it’s about having fun. Sure, we’re borrowing some ideas from the Bolognese classic (adding milk) but also ingredients from ragu found in other parts of Italy, like herbs from ragu Toscano, and finishing with a truly British addition, Worcestershire sauce. Rich, meaty, nostalgic you’ll make it again and again.

Diced Pancetta

White Onion

Carrot

Celery

Garlic Clove

Butter

Leaf

Rosemary

Beef Mince

Red Wine

Worcestershire Sauce

Chicken Stock

Tinned Plum Tomato

Milk

Salt

Spaghetti

Parmesan

Garlic Bread

Add the pancetta to a large, heavy pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Place it over a low-medium heat and gently cook until the fat is released and the pancetta starts to turn crispy.

Meanwhile finely chop the onion, carrot and celery and peel the garlic. Add to the pan along with the butter, a pinch of salt, the bay leaves and rosemary and fry for 8-10 mins until the veggies are soft and the pancetta is nice and browned. Don’t rush this step.

Transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl and set aside. Return the empty pan to the hob, turn up the heat to high and tip in the beef mince and a big pinch of salt. Use the back of your spoon to break the mince up and fry until brown.

Pour in the red wine and let it bubble away over the high heat until reduced by half. Add the Worcestershire sauce then pour in the stock followed by the plum tomatoes. Return the veggies and pancetta to the pan and pour in the milk. Add the salt (the full amount listed in the ingredients list), bring to a simmer, then place a lid on and transfer to the oven for 2½ hrs.

Once the ragu is ready, you can cook your pasta and serve straightaway, but the sauce is even better made the day before and then reheated. If you are prepping ahead of time, let the ragu cool to room temp and place in the fridge overnight. The next day, use a spoon to scrape off the layer of fat which will have solidified on top.

Either way, when ready to eat, cook your spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water for 2 mins less than the packet instructions. Drain in a colander, saving a mug full of the salty, starchy cooking water.

Return the spaghetti to the pan you boiled it in and spoon in the ragu. Place over a low-medium heat and continue cooking, stirring and adding splashes of the reserved water (it should be bubbling but not frying) for another 2 mins or so, until you have a thick glossy sauce that clings to the pasta.

Serve with black pepper, lots of Parmesan, and garlic bread on the side!

Absolute winner. So much flavour and my teenage boys were actually grateful….! ☺️ officially my new spag bol recipe for life.
