The Making of Spaghetti – Part 4

This post follows on from The Making of Spaghetti – Part 1, The Making of Spaghetti – Part 2 and The Making of Spaghetti – Part 3 and, as promised, is not only the final in this series, but is also where I have tested how I cook the sauce against the recipe I wrote.

Ah yes, Dean and I enjoyed spag bol for dinner last night and I managed to take several photos as I ensured my written recipe actually matched what I do in the kitchen when making it.  You’ll see, I even remembered the red wine and, for a change, it did get into the food.

I am really pleased to say, the written word match the process to a T.

Sometimes I dice the vegetables much smaller than I did yesterday but will admit, it really doesn’t matter because when simmered long enough, more often than not, they will break down and ‘become one’ with the sauce.

I was on my way out last night, so it was up to Dean to ‘dish up’ the remaining sauce and put it into the freezer.  He managed three dishes – so that’s four meals for us from this recipe.  That makes it a budget meal in my books.

I used 6 large (ish) button mushrooms and when diced they were just a little over 2 cups

I love the colour of my ‘spag bol’ spoon

That’s San Remo Tagliatelle pasta

I struggle to get my gas burner low enough sometimes

Even with the lid on, I still make a mess

I love making this meal and have enjoyed sharing it here on my blog.

Don’t forget to come back and let me know your thoughts should you choose to accept my challenge and try it for yourself.

I’ve finished working on a printable version of my recipe.  You can download it here, or by visiting my Recipes page.
