Method

STEP 1 - Soften the veg

Heat olive oil in a large deep pan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 8 minutes until softened.

STEP 2 - Add garlic & mushrooms

Cook for 4 minutes until mushrooms have released their moisture and started to colour.

STEP 3 - Brown the mince

Push veg to the side, turn up the heat and add the mince. Break up and brown for 5 minutes. Don't stir too much -- let it colour properly.

STEP 4 - Add tomato puree

Stir in the tomato puree. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, to cook out the puree.

STEP 5 - Deglaze & add tomatoes

Pour in the wine or stock and scrape up any bits from the bottom. Add chopped tomatoes, oregano, basil, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Season well.

STEP 6 - Add lentils

Stir in the lentils. Bring to a boil then reduce to a low simmer.

STEP 7 - Simmer

Simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.

STEP 8 - Cook pasta

About 12 minutes before serving, cook spaghetti in boiling water. Wholemeal takes 1-2 mins longer than white as a tip!

STEP 9 - Serve

Drain pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water. Toss with the sauce, loosening with pasta water as needed. Serve immediately.
