Sunday dinner

As it is Sunday and your dear girlfriend is coming I thought I would tell you how to cook a form of spag bog with the ingredients you have.  You will need an onion as well, but that shouldn't be too difficult or expensive to obtain.  The quantity below will feed about 3-4 people, five if I am serving and you do lots of pasta :)

You will need:
Tin of minced beef
Jar of pasta sauce
An onion, small to medium size
Olive oil (see below if you don't have any)
Oregano (it's in a glass jar, smells like pizza, says 'oregano' on it)
Worcester sauce
Oxo cube
Pasta
Cheese

Method
Borrow a bigger frying pan than the one you have.
Borrow a bigger saucepan and boil water in a big pan and when it's boiling add salt.

While you are waiting for this, heat the oil in the frying pan.  If you have no olive oil use another oil e.g. sunflower, corn etc., butter or, if you have nothing else, margarine.  If you aren't using oil be very careful it doesn't burn.

Meanwhile, is the water boiling yet ?  If it is, add enough pasta for you and your guests (see my previous blog to know how much to use).

While tbe oil is heating cut the onion small.   When it's nice and hot put the onion in the pan and sprinkle generously with oregano and some salt.  Fry the onion until its gone soft and maybe a bit brown.  Don't burn it.

Open the tin of beef and pour it on the onion.  Then open the jar of sauce and mix that in.  Now you see why you need a bigger pan.   You might like to add a splash or two of Worcestershire sauce and maybe a crumbled oxo cube.

Cook until the pasta is ready.  The sauce is more or less cooked already, the flavour develops as you carry on cooking. 

Once the pasta is ready serve it up.  Grate some cheese on it.  If you don't have lots of friends to feed save some in the fridge and eat it tomorrow.

Bon appetit!!
