Method

  • step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the chopped onion, garlic and chopped celery for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat until the onion has softened slightly. Tip in the lean minced beef and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned all over. Stir in the sun-dried tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

  • step 2

    Add the chopped tomatoes. Pour the beef stock into the empty tomato can, swish around then add to the pan. Stir in the pitted black chopped olives. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, then cover and simmer gently for 35-40 minutes, until very tender. Season well and stir in a handful of fresh torn basil leaves.

  • step 3

    Toss with cooked spaghetti and serve.

Great base recipe. I adapt for one sometimes and add or omit ingredients as available.

Absolutely love this recipe! I hate olives though so add mushrooms instead, real comfort food!

This is my go to recipe for spaghetti Bol, sometimes I use olives and celery sometimes not, depends what I have in. Both taste delicious!

This was great, went down well with my family. I added finely chopped carrot, Worcestershire sauce and used mixed deli olives, but would be delicious either way.
