If you’ve got 600 g or even 1 kg mince, just scale everything up slightly and add a splash more stock. | Use soy sauce or a splash of balsamic vinegar for depth. | Stir in a knob of butter or a splash of milk at the end for a softer, silkier sauce. | Blend half the sauce and stir it back through if you want zero visible veg. | Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days | Freezes brilliantly as a plain ragu (without the pasta), perfect for quick pasta nights | Reheat with a splash of water or stock | Spoon over jacket potatoes or toast, top with cheese and grill for an easy next-day dinner

No picture as cooked after work in the week so family were ravenous by the time it was ready Very tasty, cooked for 40 mins as a weekday so will try again at weekend and slow cook. Everyone had second helpings so I think that says it all. Left out mushroom and olives as I'm the only who likes them. Plenty of leftovers which is always a plus. A definite hit with the family

So good I forgot to take a picture until after we started. As always super super simple and super tasty. I used lamb mince and lamb stock as that’s what I had in, worked a treat. My wife if loving having a personal chef.
