Jo's Classic Spaghetti Bolognaise

This is the way i do spag bol, which means loads of veg, and lentils/beans, not just meat.....

Ingredients
- 1.5 cans lentils or beans (today I used brown and puy lentils)
- 400g mince
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced/finely chopped
- oil of your choice (today i used rice bran)
- 1 large carrot, grated
- other left over veg (eg: today I used 1 cup undressed slaw)
- 1 jar (approx 200g) tomato paste
- 1 can (approx 400g) mixed tomatoes (any type will do)
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp worcester sauce
- 25ml simon gault beef or chicken stock mixed with 1/2 cup water
- salt & pepper to taste
- wholemeal spaghetti
- grated parmesan or cheddar

In a really big pot, saute the onion in oil for about 5min until translucent. Add garlic and saute another 5 min. Add the mince and saute on medium heat until browned. Add everything else and simmer for about 1 hour (1 hour is not necessary, but the longer the better). About 15 min before serving, cook up some wholemeal spaghetti.
Serve with the grated cheese.

Leftovers idea: heat the next day with a bit of chilli. Then serve in wholemeal wraps, toasted in the oven with sour cream, cheese, salsa, and coriander. Yum!
