Ingredients

For the Bolognaise Sauce
2 Tbsp light olive oil or coconut oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 large onion, peeled, halved & sliced
1 green pepper, diced
500g lean mince, beef or ostrich
2 tsp barbeque spice
2 tsp finely chopped garlic
1 tsp finely chopped chillies (optional)
1 tsp paprika paste (or ½ tsp powder)
1 Tbsp tomato paste
50ml water
400g tin peeled & diced Italian tomatoes
  with juice
freshly ground salt & pepper, to taste
1 tsp cornflour or Bisto
a few drops of gravy browning

For the Pasta
200g dried or fresh tagliatelle
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil


75g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
75g Cheddar cheese, finely grated

Method

For the Bolognaise Sauce
In a large frying pan on a high heat, melt the olive oil & butter and fry the onion & green pepper until soft & golden brown.
With a slotted spoon, remove from the pan into a separate bowl.
In the same pan, stir-fry the mince with the barbeque spice until browned and free of all lumps.
Return the onions and green peppers to the pan and stir in the garlic, chillies, paprika and tomato paste, and continue turning and frying for 1 min.
Stir in the water and tin of tomatoes with the juice.  Season with salt & pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40 mins.
If necessary, thicken the sauce by dissolving the cornflour or Bisto in a little water and slowly adding a little at a time to the bolognaise while stirring, until the desired consistency has been reached.  Add a little gravy browning to colour if needed.

For the Pasta
Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of boiling water until al dente and then drain.  Coat with olive oil to prevent it sticking together.

To serve, fold portions of tagliatelle, bolognaise sauce & mixed grated cheese into separate bowls & garnish with parsley.

Banting/LCHF
As only a little cornflour is used to thicken the sauce, this is fine, else use Brown Onion Soup Mix.
Use Carb-Free Pasta or Courgette Noodles instead of flour pasta.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with Avocado Caprese Salad or a simple tomato & onion salad.

Variation

* Replace the tagliatelle with spaghetti, penne or even ravioli stuffed with spinach & ricotta.
* Substitute Bolognaise Sauce with an arrabbiata sauce made from Tomato Relish and add fried diced bacon & extra chillies.
