Put oil in large pan and fry the onion on a high heat for around 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and mince and cook until brown. Add carrots, mushrooms, peppers and mixed herbs and cook for a further 3-4 minutes
Slowly stir in the tomatoes, tomato puree, beef stock and Worcester sauce and bring to the boil. Add salt and ground pepper to taste and cook on a medium heat for approximately 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling water with a pinch of salt and a dash of oil (to prevent spaghetti sticking). Boil until the spaghetti is soft (about 10 -15 minutes).
Serve with the parmesan or grated cheddar and a large glass of red wine (optional, of course!)
Notes
Why not mix things up and use turkey mince for a healthier option (it's also cheaper than beef mince).
