Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
- 2 large onions finely chopped
- 2 large carrots peeled and finely chopped
- 2 sticks celery finely chopped
- 1 kg Lean lamb mince (or leftover roast lamb)
- 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
- 800 ml lamb or beef stock - from cubes is fine (I use 2 Kallo organic beef stock cubes)
- 2 bay leaves
- salt and pepper
To Serve
- Spaghetti or any other shape of pasta you prefer
- freshly grated parmesan or cheddar
Instructions
- Put the olive oil in a wide, deep saucepan and add the chopped onion, carrots and celery. Cook with the lid on over a gentle heat for about 5 minutes, until softened but not coloured.
- Turn the heat up to medium/high and add the mince. Fry for 5-10 minutes until the mince has browned all over and is flecked with darker brown. (If using leftovers, simply add in the leftovers and skip the rest of this step.)
- Tip in the chopped tomatoes, stock and bay leaves, plus salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Serve with spaghetti (or any other shape of pasta you wish) and grated cheese.

Notes
- If you’d rather use beef mince, or if you have some leftover beef, then that’s OK too – this recipe works just as well with beef or lamb.
- Suitable for freezing.
