Simply Delicious Spaghetti Bolognese is truly delicious. The carrot and sherry give the rich Bolognese sauce a beautiful flavour.

This recipe is adapted from my 1993 edition of Simply Delicious (Colour Library Books). 

It is the best Spaghetti Bolognese recipe I have ever tasted as it has a subtle sweetness from both the carrots and the sherry and a very deep tomato flavour.  My children absolutely love this dish and for a special treat I serve it with some garlic bread as well as a hearty mixed salad. 

This dish is ideal for doubling up and freezing half for another time.

As this recipe is so simple I have dispensed with the usual pan shots! (Phew, I hear you cry).
