Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook 400g spaghetti (or fettuccine, linguine, or pappardelle) according to packet directions until al dente. Drain and keep warm.
-
Brown the mince
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil) in a large frypan over high heat. Add 400g veal or beef mince (or pork mince, or plant-based mince for vegetarian) and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned all over.
-
Add sauce and mushrooms
Stir in 500g jar Bolognese pasta sauce (e.g. Leggo's, or any good-quality tomato-based pasta sauce) and 150g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced (or cremini, portobello, or button mushrooms). Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and sauce has thickened.
-
Serve
Divide pasta between serving bowls. Spoon the sauce generously over the top. Finish with 40g parmesan, shaved or grated (or pecorino romano) and a handful of fresh basil leaves (or flat-leaf parsley).
