Sweet Chilli Bolognese

Submitted by Chef mousey

"this is a bolognese sauce with a difference. easy to make and beautiful flavour off the tomato/sweet chilli sauce. i got the recipe in an old magazine i found but altered it a little to suit myself. i usually use it in lasagne ut its equally as nice with spaghetti or pasta shapes"
