yummy, i couldnt help but add a "splash" ;) of red wine, and as we love garlic, i used 2 cloves. To up the vegie content i also put a sliced celery stick,1 grated carrot & a handful of mushrooms in the sauce. With the fresh tomatoes & wine, the sause was quite runny, but still really tasty. I used the oxo & dolimio & it was really good, compliments all round :)

This was fabulous, and it didn't last long enough for me to take a photo of it! We all really enjoyed it, and as you said, Kellogs, the aroma while it was cooking was out of this world! (I let it simmer a bit longer than 25 minutes). I can't find Dolmio spaghetti sauce in the stores here, so I used another brand. I didn't have Oxo cubes, either, so I substituted two Maggi Beef Bouillon cubes. (I'm going to make a point of buying some Oxo cubes from an online import food vendor, for when I make this again in the future!) I fried the beef, onions and garlic together, instead of first frying the onions and garlic alone. When the beef was no longer pink, and the onions were softened, I drained the grease. This spaghetti bolognaise was a great success, and the whole family gives it five stars!
