Written by The best family meal of them all, a Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe by the godfather of modern cooking, Marco Pierre White.
We have all eaten spaghetti bolognese at some stage in our western lives and no doubt have our favourite recipes. It really is a simple dish to make and is a wonderful example of simple food cooked simply and most importantly, slowly.
We have made a little adjustment for those not using a stock pot, add 400ml of beef stock instead. You may need to reduce for a little while longer than Marco’s recipe.
