Simple spag bol

I used:
  • 250g Tesco steak mince
  • 1 beef Oxo cube, made up to 100ml of stock
  • 100ml red wine
  • 1/2 cube frozen garlic
  • 4 tbsp Tesco frozen diced onion
  • 1.5 tsp Schwartz mixed herbs
  • 1/2 tbsp tomato pureé
  • 200g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 150g spaghetti
And I did this:
  1. Brown the mince with a little olive oil in a decently-sized frying pan over a medium-low heat
  2. Add the garlic, onion and herbs and cook for a minute or so
  3. Add the wine, tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and Oxo stock and bring to the boil
  4. Simmer on the lowest possible heat for about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes or so
  5. At a couple of points during the simmering time, attack the whole thing with a potato masher to help thicken and to remove any annoyingly huge bits of tomato
  6. Towards the end of the simmering time, cook the spaghetti according to the pack instructions
  7. Drain the spaghetti and serve with the sauce
