Spaghetti Bolognese

This is a dish for a boy's/girl's night in or a party. Don't make this for a date. Unless you're comfortable enough to fall asleep on each other!

You will need:

For the pasta:
300 gms of spaghetti
a drop of refined oil
a pinch of salt
a vat of boiling water

Let the water come to a boil. Put in oil and salt and pasta and cook for 7 minutes. That's the average time. But please refer to instructions on the pack.

For the sauce:
A pressure cooker
4 diced tomatoes
2 cans of Bloody Mary Mix
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
500 gms. of mutton mince
4 tablespoons tomato puree
12 pods of garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 big bunch of fresh basil
1 tablespoon of fresh pepper
2 strips of bacon, chopped
11/2 cups of water

Heat the oil. Add the bay leaf, bacon, onions and garlic and brown. Add the mince and cook it on high flame until it's well-browned. Add the tomatoes, Bloody Mary mix, tomato puree, pepper, water, 1/2 the basil and cook for 20 minutes after the first whistle. Open and mix with the pasta and garnish with fresh basil.
