Nar! Carrots do not and never will belong in a Spag Bol I'm afraid.

My signature dish is a Tuna Pasta bake. Fucking beautiful. Any of you ever come to Chester I'll sort you one out ;)

Got to agree with you here Balti, diced carrot is a constant in most spag bol sauces.

My missus can't cook and is a veggie. Luckily for her I worked as chef in Spain for 2 years so am not too shabby in the kitchen.

For the best versatile tomatoe sauce, grab 12 big tomatoes and a packet of on the vine tomatoes (baby plums if poss). In a saucepan, put 10tblsp of olive oil (good stuff - deep yellow and reeking) and 2 tablsp of rock salt. Put all of the tomatoes in to the pan and a medium heat, stirring occasionaly. When the skins have cracked, add 1 pint of cold water and the stalk from the vine tomatoes. Cover and simmer on low for 30-40 mins. Scoop out the skins and mash with a potato masher. Leave the lid off and continue to simmer until the sauce is as thick as you need it. From here you can add basil or chillie for pasta, use it on pizza bases, or add chopped onion and peppers and have it as salsa.

Yum!

He's wrong, you're right. Celery should also be in there.

Traditional bolognese contains celery and carrots, but mine doesn't. Horses for courses folks.

Tip for the toms, make 2 incisions all around the tom in a straight line and simmer in water for 2mins the skins will come off easy then no faffing around scooping out of the lovely sauce discribed.

My post:

Yes obviously basil at the end. Always onions, garlic, [color="Navy"]carrot and celery [/color]fried first in butter and olive oil, the oil stops the butter from burning. Seperate pan for tomatoes. Heat toms up with paste then add fried ingredients, then the meat, seaon with pepper and some salt, once reduced add more salt then the basil and oregano.

Generally, yes, but in this one you want the inside of the tomatoes to almost bake in their skins. Removing the skin defeats the purpose, and gives a less full flavour.

Bit too salty for me

I usually make a standard Sofrito and I sometimes add jalapenos as an extra kick.

You worked in Spain...¿Habla usted español?
