Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Rinse the beef mince under cold water and pat dry.

Roast the mince in a tray for 35 to 60 minutes until crisp and golden-brown.

Fry the bacon in a heavy casserole over medium heat until it starts to brown.

Add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and bay leaf and cook until softened.

Stir in vinegar, sugar, oregano, roasted mince, tomatoes, stock, and mushrooms.

Simmer the sauce for 45 to 60 minutes until thickened and season to taste.

Boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente then drain.

Serve the spaghetti topped with Bolognese sauce and optional Parmesan.
